Hip fracture is a major health concern in elderly people. Thc standard line of management hip arthroplasty classified whether it intracapsular or extracapsular. Hemi the preferred surgery geriatric population as less mobility and large diameter femur head reduces chances dislocation. There are 4 surgical techniques for -arthroplasty: anterior (Smith-Peterson), anterolateral (Watson. lones), lat...

Traumatic posterior dislocation of the hip associated with a fracture of the posterior acetabular wall and of the neck of the femur is a rare injury. A 29-year-old man presented at a level 1 trauma centre with a locked posterior dislocation of the right hip, with fractures of the femoral neck and the posterior wall of the acetabulum after a bicycle accident. An attempted closed reduction had fa...

dren's fractures, though perhaps he is best known for his description in 1832 of the contracture of the palmar aponeurosis that was named after him. However, in retrospect, probably his most important contribution was in relation to congenital dislocation of the hip. Although this condition had been discussed in Hippocratic times and mentioned occasionally by other writers, it is to Dupuytren that

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the dislocation rates, reoperation rates and mortality 30 day and one year following THA with AVANTAGE® dual mobility cup among dementia patients with an acute displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2010 to 2014 we identified 20 hip fracture patients with dementia, who have had total hip arthroplasty with the AVAN...

We report the case of a 42-year-old male who suffered a fracture-dislocation of the femoral head. After a closed reduction of the hip, this proceeded to an open reduction with internal fixation of the fractured femoral head, in addition to labral repair and micro-fracture of an articular cartilage defect. After considering the risks to the femoral head blood supply, the trochanteric flip osteot...

Seventeen femoral fractures occurred in 1,751 operations for total hip replacement. They usually occurred during dislocation of the hip, reaming of the shaft, or insertion of the femoral component, and were common in second operations. The short oblique fracture can be controlled by use of the standard implant, and the long oblique fracture by internal fixation. Fractures well below the implant...

case report: we report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip. conclusion: two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job. introduction: incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. sciatic nerve is the mo...
