Popis:	A 70-year-old male patient presented to our emergency department with trauma left hip following a fall. Physical examination revealed external rotation, slight flexion, adduction, and shortening of the affected limb. There was a palpable fullness in the groin. Radiographic examination revealed fracture neck of femur with femoral head dislocated anteriorly and lying in the obturator foramen. There was an associated femoral head fracture with a fragment of it in the acetabulum. Although this sort of injury has been reported once, the difference in our case lies in the age of the patient; the injury complex was caused by a less severe trauma and a unique mechanism of injury. Also a modification of Brumback classification is proposed to include such fractures more specifically in order to allow comparative analysis in such rare injuries as more and more such case reports are added to literature.
