Abstract
The Importance of Allis Maneuver in the Management of Traumatic Posterior Hip Dislocation in Children: A Report of Two Cases
Highlights
Traumatic hip dislocation is an uncommon condition in children which requires prompt diagnosis and management [1,2]
The Allis maneuver can be used as a reliable alternative for joint reduction when the gentle traction method is not successful
We present our experience with the management of posterior traumatic hip dislocations in two pediatric patients
Summary
Since traumatic hip dislocation is not common in children, it is crucial for physicians to be familiar with this condition to provide correct diagnosis and prompt treatment. Every orthopedic surgeon should focus on the history of trauma, common symptoms (e.g. limping, continued pain in the lower extremity, abnormal extremity position, decreased range of motion, etc.), and appropriate imaging to rule out spontaneous reduction. According to our experience, when the gentle traction method is not successful, the Allis maneuver can be used as a reliable alternative for joint reduction. A post-reduction radiograph is needed, followed by a CT or MRI in the presence of any joint widening
