Department of Orthopaedics, Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, India.

We present a rare case of femoral head indentation fracture without associated hip dislocation in an elderly female secondary to a low-energy trauma. She was managed with primary total hip arthroplasty and achieved an excellent functional outcome. We have proposed the mechanism of injury and discussed shortcomings in the present classification systems. A review of literature of such cases is presented along with the rationale for our management decision and the various other treatment modalities available for the surgeon.
