Woman With Hip Pain

A 42-year-old woman presented to our emergency department (ED) after a high-speed motor vehicle crash. On arrival, the patient was hemodynamically stable but appeared uncomfortable and was complaining of severe left hip pain. On physical examination, the left lower extremity was neurovascularly intact but the left hip was flexed and the left leg was abducted and externally rotated. Given the history and physical examination findings, a radiograph (Figure 1) and computed tomography (CT) scan of the hip (Figure 2) were obtained.
