Case Report Atraumatic Anterior Dislocation of the Hip Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dislocation of the hip joint in adults is usually caused by high-energy trauma such as road traffic accidents or falls from heights. Posterior dislocation is observed in most cases. However, atraumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint is extremely rare. We present a case of atraumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint that was induced by an activity of daily living. The possible causes of this dislocation were anterior capsule insufficiency due to developmental dysplasia of the hip, posterior pelvic tilt following thoracolumbar kyphosis due to vertebral fracture, and acetabular anterior coverage changes by postural factor. Acetabular anterior coverage changes in the sagittal plane were measured using a tomosynthesis imaging system.This system was useful for elucidation of the dislocation mechanism in the present case.

متن کاملA rare case of open anterior hip dislocation
Anterior hip dislocation is much less frequent when compared with posterior dislocation of the hip joint, with open dislocation being still rarer. We report a case of an open anterior hip dislocation in a 23-year-old male who presented to us in the emergency department, and also present a review of the literature.
