Although fractures of the acetabulum can occur in anterior hip dislocations, they are infrequently. ⋯ The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation since the hip joint was result unstable and the CT scan showed the presence of a bone fragment of the anterior acetabular wall.

Clostridium septicum Infection Associated with Necrotizing Pancreatitis, Transmural Gastric Necrosis, and Liquefaction of the Spleen.
Spontaneous infection with Clostridium septicum (C. septicum) is rare, but when isolated it is commonly associated with malignancy. We report a case of a 47-year-old man with infected pancreatic necrosis involving greater than 80% of the pancreas, transmural gastric necrosis, and liquefaction necrosis of the spleen. Initial cultures revealed C. septicum infection. He was managed with prompt aggressive surgical debridément, resection, appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics, and early enteral nutrition.
