Traumatic hip hemarthrosis causing tamponade may compromise the circulation to the femoral head (Strömqvist et al. 1985). This mechanism was suggested to be responsible for femoral head necrosis in a patient with an undislocated acetabular fracture (Bauer 1985). We report a case of hemarthrosis of the hip after a trivial trauma that caused a posterior wall fracture of the acetabulum.Downloads
