Posterior dislocation of the hip with fracture of the ipsilateral shaft of femur occurs very rarely. Ipsilateral fractures and dislocation occur due to high-energy trauma, and reduction of hip dislocation is considered an orthopaedic emergency. Frequent concerns regarding this injury include delayed diagnosis and treatment of the hip dislocation, difficulty in reduction of the hip dislocation, avascular necrosis of the head of femur and sciatic nerve palsy. Early closed reduction of the hip joint is difficult because the long lever of the femoral shaft is affected due to loss of continuity and classical methods of reduction cannot be used. The nuances of hip joint reduction in case of associated ipsilateral fracture, and the need for emergent intervention is emphasized in this case report.
Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) also known as Hand- Heart syndrome is a very rare autosomal dominant disease caused by a mutation in the TBX5 gene located on chromosome 12. Clinically it manifests with morphological abnormalities of the upper limbs and congenital cardiac defects leading to variety of complications. Cardiac malformations go undiagnosed till late in life. With routine antenatal checkup, external physical deformities can be found out with high suspicion of congenital heart malformations as well, which can lead to early effective management. We here by describe a case of 20 year-old female with known morphological alterations of the upper limbs since birth presented with Right heart failure diagnosed to have atrial septal defect.
