ABSTRACT
An elderly gentleman in a long grey cloak is wheeled into the emergency department. He tells you he is many hundred years old and fell off a white horse onto his left side. He knows he should not be horse riding at his age but tells you it was vital he joined his hairy footed friends on an important quest to return some jewellery. He has pain in the left groin and cannot walk. His left leg appears shorter than the right and the foot is turned outwards. You obtain a radiograph of the hips ( Fig. 17.1 ).
