Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint in children is rare, and only one case with ipsilateral femoral fracture has been reported in Japan. We report a case of such dislocation and a review of the literature. The patient was a 31-month-old girl who was injured in a car accident while asleep on a tilted front passenger seat.

In December 1961, Letournel [10] published his original series on acetabular fracture classification and operative management. Before that time, acetabular fractures were classified as those associated with posterior hip dislocation and those associated with central hip dislocation. Many were treated without surgery, resulting in poor articular congruity of the hip. Citing an increasing inciden...

Acetabular fracture is usually treated with osteosynthesis. However, in the case of an intra-articular fracture, osteosynthesis can result in arthropathy of the hip joint and poor long-term results, hence, total hip arthroplasty is required. However, in total hip arthroplasty for postoperative acetabular fracture, sciatic nerve palsy tends to develop more commonly than after primary total hip a...

OBJECTIVES To determine how often preoperative testing is requested for geriatric hip fracture patients, to assess the extent to which preoperative testing is associated with delayed surgery, and to measure the frequency with which preoperative testing changes patient management. DESIGN Retrospective. SETTING Academic health system. PATIENTS Two hundred fifty consecutive geriatric hip fra...
