Fracture-Dislocation of the Hip Joint

Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the hip.

Of 54 patients with posterior dislocations of the hip of type I and type II (Stewart and Milford 1954), 47 were followed for a mean period of 6.7 years (2 to 11). Of these, 23 had dislocation with minimal lesions of the acetabulum (type I) and 24 had an avulsed dorsocranial fragment (type II). All were reduced by closed methods within six hours. The subsequent treatment of type I dislocations w...

Posterior Hip Fracture -Dislocation Associated with Ipsilateral Intertrochantric Fracture; a Rare Case Report

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...

Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint with posterior acetabular wall fracture.

The incidence of traumatic hip dislocation has increased in recent years as a result of high-energy trauma. Anterior hip dislocation forms less than 10-15% of all traumatic hip dislocations. Only a few case reports describe anterior dislocation along with acetabular fractures. The acetabular fracture involved the anterior wall or column in all such cases. We describe a rare case in which anteri...

Transradial dorsal perilunate fracture dislocation: an unusual fracture dislocation of the wrist joint.

A case of bacterial endocarditis due to a highly resistant strain of Streptococcus faecalis is described. Although some measure of control of infection was obtained by a combined course of fucidic acid and penicillin the condition relapsed immediately the drugs were discontinued. Finally, the intravenous administration of penicillin in doses of 100 mega units daily for 3 months in conjunction w...
