A hip dislocation is a disruption of the joint between the femur and pelvis.[1] Specifically it is when the ball–shaped head of the femur comes out of the cup–shaped acetabulum of the pelvis.[1] Symptoms typically include pain and an inability move the hip.[1] Complications may include avascular necrosis of the hip, injury to the sciatic nerve, or arthritis.[1]
Dislocations are typically due to significant trauma such as a motor vehicle collision or fall from height.[1] Often there are also other associated injuries.[2][6] Diagnosis is generally confirmed by plain X-rays.[2] Hip dislocations can also occur follow a hip replacement or from a developmental abnormality known as hip dysplasia.[7]
Efforts to prevent the condition include wearing a seat-belt.[1] Emergency treatment generally follows advanced trauma life support.[2] This is generally followed by reduction of the hip carried out under procedural sedation.[1] A CT scan is recommended following reduction to rule out complications.[8] Surgery is required if the joint cannot be reduced otherwise.[2] Often a few months are required for healing to occur.[1] [9]
Hip dislocations are uncommon.[5] Males are affected more often than females.[3] Traumatic dislocations occurs most commonly in those 16 to 40 years old.[4] The condition was first described in the medical press in the early 1800s.[2]
