Impaction fractures of the femoral head following anterior hip dislocation were noted in eight of 11 patients. This fracture is characterized by a depression or a flattening of the posterosuperior and lateral portion of the femoral head. It is usually seen on the standard anteroposterior view of the pelvis.
