Abstract:	Head of femur fractures are relatively rare and tend to be associated with dislocations of the hip and fractures of the acetabulum. Other parts of the femur, namely the neck is also often involved. Only two cases per million are reported on a yearly basis which poses significance due to its extreme rarity. Here, we present a 30-year-old obese male patient with Pipkin’s fracture who was treated successfully by us without any major complications.
