PURPOSE To review treatment outcomes of 19 patients with delayed presentation of cervical facet dislocations. METHODS Records of 17 men and 2 women aged 21 to 63 (mean, 39) years who presented with unilateral (n=14) or bilateral (n=5) cervical facet dislocation after a delay of 7 to 21 (mean, 14) days were reviewed. The most common level of dislocation was C5-C6 (n=9), followed by C4-C5 (n=6)...

Several surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of posterior shoulder dislocation depending on the time elapsed between injury and surgery and the size of the humeral head impression fracture. When the bone defect is between 25% and 50% of the articular surface of the head, the procedures of choice are autologous bone graft or allograft or subscapularis tendon or lesser tubero...

  Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is a rare disorder. We report the case of a 7-year-old girl with bilateral knee stiffness, marked anterior bowing of both legs, and inability to walk without aid. Radiologic investigation revealed bilateral knee joint dislocation accompanied by severe anterior bowing of both tibia proximally and posterior bowing of both femur distally, demonstrating ...

Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare but clinically and radiologically well-defined entity. It accounts for less than 2% of all dislocations of the shoulder,1,2 but is of diagnostic and therapeutic interest because most are missed on the initial e...

INTRODUCTION Shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated joint. However, it is rarely neglected and treatment is sought immediately. Delayed or neglected shoulder dislocations are difficult to manage and require extensive procedures to obtain good functional outcome. Very few cases are described in literature showing neglected shoulder dislocation with good functional range of movement. We...

Congenital knee dislocation is a rare anomaly associated with a variety of neuromuscular diseases and deformities. The etiology of this condition remains unclear, but it is usually associated with a variety of disorders, such as Larsen's syndrome, arthrogryposis, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Down syndrome, and Streeter's dysplasia. It is rarely an isolated entity, and 6...

INTRODUCTION Post traumatic hip dislocations are very rare in children. Neglected anterior hip dislocations in children are not described in literature so far. Here, we present a case of 6 weeks old anterior hip dislocation successfully managed by open reduction. CASE PRESENTATION A 9-year-old male child presented with neglected anterior hip dislocation on left side. Open reduction carried ou...

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...
