Anterior hip dislocation is common in younger adults and the result of severe, high energy trauma such as high-velocity motor vehicle accidents or falls from great heights. A similar mechanism injury would cause a femur neck fracture older patients. Of these, open anterior dislocations are extremely rare usually associated with other soft tissue bony injuries. We report case an normal neurovascular status third world setting.trauma, anterior, dislocation, hip, femoral head, osteonecrosis.
