Traumatic hip dislocation in late pregnancy: a case report.

Hip dislocation in pregnancy is an uncommon injury. We report a case of traumatic hip dislocation in the third trimester of pregnancy to highlight potential problems associated with its treatment. The rationale for choosing the preferred treatment options is discussed.

Congenital hip dislocation: the importance of early detection and comprehensive treatment.

Hip dislocation is the musculoskeletal condition most commonly missed during neonatal examinations. Failure to diagnose the condition can lead to long-term disability and is a common target in pediatric legal suits concerning damage to the musculoskeletal system. Early neonatal assessment for hip dislocation includes an examination using the Barlow and Ortolani tests. Later examinations include assessment of gluteal folds, knee height and the degree of hip abduction. The preferred treatment is use of the Pavlik harness, an outpatient treatment regime that provides effective reduction in 90 percent of the cases. The harness uses flexion and free abduction to direct the femoral head into the acetabulum; it uses time, gravity and motion to position the hip in a reduced position. The harness requires three to six months of continuous wear for the hip to become radiographically stable. Health care providers are instrumental in diagnosing congenital hip dislocation and teaching families how to promote the infant's physical and psychosocial well-being. If this condition is not detected until after the infant is 6 weeks old, or the harness is ineffective after three weeks, skin traction, closed reduction and spica-cast application may be needed. Open reduction and recasting are also options. In rare cases, total hip replacement is necessary in later life.

Asymmetrical bilateral traumatic hip dislocation with ipsilateral acetabular fracture.

We report a case of simultaneous asymmetrical bilateral traumatic hip dislocation, with one hip dislocated anteriorly and the other posteriorly, with ipsilateral acetabular fracture, suffered in a traffic accident by a 36-year-old man. Closed reduction of both hips was performed, followed by delayed internal fixation of the acetabular fracture.
