Bilateral Traumatic Symmetric Posterior Hip Dislocation in a Teenager

Traumatic hip dislocation is rare in children, accounting for 2 to 5% of all traumatic dislocations. Bilateral hip dislocations are unusual. There is no consensus on the protocol after reduction. We report the case of a 14-yearold girl sustaining a bilateral posterior hip dislocation after a road traffic accident in a limited resource setting. The concentrically reduction was performed 22 hours after the admission. Post-reduction radiograph showed an intraarticular fragment in the left hip and CT scan prescribed has not been performed. The patient was kept on bilateral skin traction for 3 weeks. At the end of the period of traction, bilateral hip spica cast was applied for 3 weeks. At 4 years 11 months follow-up the hips were pain-free. CT scan showed osteoarthritis secondary to AVN of the femoral head on the right hip.

Unusual Posterior Traumatic Hip Dislocations at Yopougon/Abidjan Teaching Hospital

Traumatic dislocation of the hip is quite rare and accounts for 2% - 5% of all dislocations. We report on a case of a bilateral posterior hip dislocation associated with symmetric acetabular fracture and two cases of infracotyloid dislocation. The report included 2 men and one woman. The mean age of patients was 33 years. All dislocations followed a road traffic accident. Non-operative closed reduction was achieved within 19 hours of admission. The average follow-up time was 15 months. The hips were stable, mobile, and painless; and there was no radiographic sign of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

Traumatic bilateral posterior hip dislocation in 10 year old male child

Traumatic bilateral posterior hip dislocation in skeletally immature patient is reported very less in literature. We report a 10yr old boy presented to us following farmyard injury with bilateral posterior hip dislocation, which was reduced manually under sedation with uneventful follow-up and complete hip range of motion at 2 year.

Traumatic dislocation of the hip joint--pattern and management in a tropical African population.

Traumatic dislocation of the hip is an orthopaedic emergency for which early reduction is indicated. This article describe our experience of the pattern and choice of management of traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in a tropical African population. Majority of the dislocation (87%) were Thompson and Epstein's grades I and II which were easily managed by closed reduction following the administration of titrated intravenous analgesic and intravenous diazepam. This treatment option is cheap and readily administrable to avoid undue delays in the management of this orthopaedic emergency. All the close reduction were carried out in the accident and emergency room except for one patient with bilateral posterior hip dislocation who had his reduction on the ward. Early diagnosis and treatment of traumatic hip dislocation are essential to reduce the morbidities that are commonly associated with delay in reduction.

Bilateral Posterior Hip Dislocations with Femoral Head Fractures

An unusual case of bilateral posterior fracture-dislocation of the hip (Pipkin Type IV) occurred in a 63-year-old man with Paget's disease of the pelvis. Other injuries included a displaced humeral shaft fracture and patellar ligament disruption. Bilateral cemented total hip arthroplasty was performed to avoid the need for prolonged immobilization. Postoperative low-dose irradiation was used because of the risk of heterotopic ossification.
