38-year-old patient (BMI 47) with hip dislocation and pelvic ring injury. Due to severe lung contusion the hip joint fracture could only be reconstructed 5 weeks after the trauma due to the severe lung contusion. Despite the acceptable reconstruction, the patient developed massive ossification and necrosis of the femoral head in the further course. Therefore, a hip prosthesis then had to be implanted.
