Abstract
The Trend in the Management of Traumatic Hip Dislocation in Qatar: A Retrospective Observational Study
Highlights
Traumatic hip dislocation is one of the most severe injuries in orthopedics that can end up with grave sequelae
This study demonstrated that the traumatic hip dislocation affected mostly young adult males, with motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) being the most common cause of injury
Closed reduction was performed and the timing of reduction was less than 12 hours in the vast majority of patients
Summary
Traumatic hip dislocation is one of the most severe injuries in orthopedics that can end up with grave sequelae It is usually a result of high energy trauma, mostly associated with MVCs, and the situation is complicated more if it was associated with acetabular or femoral head fractures[1,2]. These types of dislocation are considered an orthopedic emergency because of the soft tissue injury, damage to vascular supply to the femoral head and the associated high risk of femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN)[3,4,5,6]. At an average of 2 years follow-up, no cases of avascular necrosis of the hip were encountered, long-term follow-up are required to assess the late outcome of dislocation
