Traumatic hip dislocation is uncommon in the paediatric population. Post reduction radiographs often show an incongruent hip because of tissue interposition. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy who was transferred to our hospital with an incongruent hip after a skiing accident, without a history of hip dislocation.

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiological profile of patients with traumatic hip dislocation treated in our Institute from November/2012 to July/2013. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study based on interviews and involving 43 patients who suffered traumatic hip dislocation was conducted. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 34.4 years old and 90.7% were male. Regarding the mechanism o...

BACKGROUND This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hip arthroscopy versus open surgical dislocation for treating femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) through published clinical trials. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive literature search using PUBMED, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases for relevant studies on hip arthroscopy and ope...

Bilateral hip dislocation occurring as a result of trauma is a rare condition. Simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. A case is reported of asymmetrical bilateral traumatic hip dislocation without an associated fracture of the pelvis or femur occurring in a young adult with no previous history of hip abnormality or ligamentous laxity. An unu...

OBJECTIVE The authors hypothesized that a patient who has posterior hip dislocation after total hip replacement does not have the same clinical manifestations of malposition as with a natural hip. The present study aimed to study clinical manifestation of hip dislocation after total hip arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHOD Thirty-five cases of posterior dislocation after total hip replacement we...

PURPOSE Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common and effective treatment of hip osteoarthritis. Activity restrictions known as hip precautions are widely practiced in rehabilitation post THA, aiming to foster healing and prevent hip dislocation. The focused clinical question was: Does the application of hip precautions in patients post THA versus unrestricted activities significantly decrease t...

 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. 

INTRODUCTION Traumatic dislocation of the hip in children is a rare injury. We report the outcome of 2 patients of neglected hip dislocation which were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by k-wires. CASE REPORT We treat 2 children both girls (one was of 4 years and other was 7 years of age). In both cases dislocation was unilateral and was not associated with any facture. Both ca...

Bilateral traumatic hip dislocation is a very rare condition. Simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. A case report of a bilateral asymmetrical hip joint dislocation with bilateral acetabular fracture in a 28-year-old man is presented.

Prior pure hip dislocation in its obturator variety is exceptional. It still reflects a high-energy trauma and may compromise the functional prognosis of the hip secondary necrosis of the femoral head. It is reported the case of a patient who, following an accident on the highway, presented a pure anterior obturator hip dislocation. The dislocation was reduced under general anaesthesia in an em...
