Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the hip

Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the hip.

Of 54 patients with posterior dislocations of the hip of type I and type II (Stewart and Milford 1954), 47 were followed for a mean period of 6.7 years (2 to 11). Of these, 23 had dislocation with minimal lesions of the acetabulum (type I) and 24 had an avulsed dorsocranial fragment (type II). All were reduced by closed methods within six hours. The subsequent treatment of type I dislocations w...

Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the pelvis.

Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the pelvis is a major injury; the force involved in its production may not only disrupt the pelvis but result in extensive associated injuries. Between 1960 and 1968, 43 patients with this injury were treated in the Accident Service of the Radcliffe Infirmary. Their case records and radiography have been analysed and 29 of the patients re-assessed at a fo...

Habitual dislocation of the hip: a rare case report

 Habitual dislocation of the hip (HDH) in children is a rare entity and can be a causative factor for popping or snapping hip which is a common problem in children with good prognosis. We report a case of HDH in a 9 year old girl who was suffering from frequent snapping hip at night, its course and treatment process. 

Posterior Hip Fracture -Dislocation Associated with Ipsilateral Intertrochantric Fracture; a Rare Case Report

Hip dislocation occurs when the femur does not break and the force is transmitted towards the hip joint leading to a posterior dislocation of the femoral head with or without posterior acetabular fracture. We present the case of a 26 year old patient involved in motor vehicle accident. Clinical and imaging (radiography, CT) examination revealed an intertrochanteric fracture associated with ipsi...
