Obese adult male patient with a 10 day old displaced femoral head fracture after closed reduction. In addition to being 10 days old, he has the complicating factor of panniculus fungus according to your photo. Correct? Unless there are other details on other images not shown, I recommend an anterior surgical exposure (as we've discussed several times on this list for femoral head fractures). He's a deep dissection regardless of the avenue in. The 10 day delay will be more frustrating than the abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity rarely complicates this exposure. You are lucky that his injury pattern allowed closed manipulation to reduce the fracture-dislocation. Chip > hello, > I am seeking input on management of this pt. the challenge is his body > habitus.
