Fractures of the trochantric and femoral necks are very common in the elderly and represent a real public health problem; they are the result of benign trauma on a fragile osteoporotic bone. Dislocations of the hip are the preserve of the young subject most often as a result of violent trauma and are often associated with fracture of the posterior wall of the acetabulum. In this work, we report a rare case of pure posterior dislocation of the hip following a banal trauma in a 91-year-old patient who benefited from a reduction according to Bohler's technique. The reduction was stable, support was allowed after a month of discharge without complication of decubitus, with recovery of the complete function of the hip and the decline at 6 months does not show signs of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
