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...

introduction arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (amc) with incidence of 1 in 3000 of births is characterized by multiple rigid joint and soft-tissue contractures. case presentation we present a case of amc with severe soft tissue and joints contractures, especially joints of lower limb and elbows, bilateral complete dislocation of hips (cdh) and knees (cdk) (type iii), bilateral elbow joint dis...

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...

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.

conclusions a neglected hip dislocation with acetabular fracture can be managed satisfactorily with uncemented thr. bone reconstruction using chunk grafts and use of cementless components ensures long-term survival and also preserves adequate bone stock for revision, especially in young patients. introduction posterior hip dislocation of the hip with acetabular fracture is a challenging problem...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) or congenital hip dysplasia (cdh) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. it includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. the natural history of neglected ddh in adults is highly variable. the mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic dd...

background: children with myelomeningocele (mmc) develop a wide variety of hip deformities such as muscle imbalance, contracture, subluxation, and dislocation. various methods and indications have been introduced for treatment of muscle imbalances and other hip problems in patients with mmc but there is no study or meta-analysis to compare the results and complications. this review aims to find...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) is one of the most widely discussed abnormalities in neonates. the advantages of sonographic examination are well known, but its main disadvantage is that it might lead to over diagnosis, which might cause over treatment. variations in the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip are well known. during six months study since september 2006 all 130...

abstract traumatic hip dislocations are common in high-energy motor vehicle accidents. we present a case of a 43-year old man who sustained posterior hip dislocation with posterior wall acetabular fracture and ipsilateral intertrochantric fracture following a motorcycle accident. urgent open reduction and internal fixation of the hip fracture-dislocation and fixation of intertrochantric fractur...
