Simultaneous post-traumatic ipsilateral fracture of femur head and subcapital femur neck without hip dislocation is a rare presentation and easily missed on X-ray imaging. A 48 years old male, with a history of high-energy road traffic accident, presented to us with severe pain in the left hip region and inability to ambulate. Preliminary X-ray showed impacted subcapital fracture with varus ang...

Range of motion of the hip joint is a major contributor to dislocation post total hip replacement. Impingement is often treated as a surrogate for dislocation and occurs--prosthetically--when the neck of the femoral component contacts with the rim of the pelvic acetabular cup. This impingement is caused by movement of the leg during activities of daily living. This article analyses hip joint ra...

Osteochondral autograft transplantation (mosaicplasty) for the osteochondral defects of the femoral head is generally performed with safe dislocation of the hip joint. Here, we present a 27-year-old male patient who had a symptomatic osteochondral defect of the femoral head and underwent mosaicplasty applied by hip arthroscopy without surgical hip dislocation. The preoperative radiological eval...

We studied 1061 children with myelomeningocele, reviewing 3184 pelvic radiographs from 802 patients. Hip dislocation had occurred by the age of 11 years in 28% of children with a thoracic neurosegmental level, 30% of those with an L1/2 level, 36% of L3, 22% of L4, 7% of L5 and only 1% of those with sacral levels. Hip dislocation was not inevitable even when there was maximal muscle imbalance ab...

Background: Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a common complication and partially based on impingement. Questions/purposes: (1) The purpose of this study was to investigate the angle between anterior and posterior impingement in current hip cup designs. (2) Furthermore, the aim was to design a model of an acetabular cup with sparing gaps that match to impact areas. Methods: The range ...

Orthopaedic surgeons specialising in adult hip reconstruction surgery often face the problem of osteoarthritis secondary to congenital hip disease (CHD). To achieve better communication among physicians, better treatment planning and evaluation of the results of various treatment options, an agreed terminology is needed to describe the entire pathology. Furthermore, a generally accepted classif...

The radiological and clinical picture of a developmental hip dislocation and a severe subluxation are identical. According to Leveuf and Wiberg the diagnosis can only be made by arthrography. The differential diagnosis is critical, as treatment differs dependent on the diagnosis. In this study, the diagnosis of subluxation was based on a plain radiograph of the pelvis. A radiograph of the pelvi...

INTRODUCTION Traumatic neglected dislocations of hip in children are rare entity. Neglected traumatic dislocations of hip in children along with heterotopic ossification are still rare. Post traumatic neglected hip dislocations are to be diagnosed as early as possible and have to be treated with precision and aggression as the outcome of treatment for the same is not predictable. CASE REPORT ...

A teaching model for the early diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip was evaluated. The physical signs of the dislocated hip and of the dislocatable hip closely simulated the true signs. The model was an excellent teaching aid and it enabled the students to gain practical experience in examining abnormal hips. The ability of the students to carry out the standard tests was also evaluat...

causing him to fall awkwardly to the ground. He was unable to bear weight. He was transported to a nearby hospital emergency department, where he was noted to be in considerable pain, with his leg foreshortened, adducted, and internally rotated. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs demonstrated a posterior dislocation of the left hip. Within 2 hours of the injury, gentle traction and manipul...
