JOINT
1. Posterior dislocation-commonest
2. Anterior dislocation
3. Central fracture - dislocation
POSTERIOR DISLOCATION
meachanism
Force directed along the shaft of
femur with hip flexed
Need moderately severe forceRTA{Dashboard injury}
Occupant of car thrown forwards and
knee strikes against dash board
Clinical features
History of severe trauma
Pain and swelling
Deformity: flexion, adduction and
internal rotation
Shortening of leg
head of femur in gluteal region felt
Often missed
Radiological features
Femoral head is out of acetabulum
Thigh internally rotated-lesser
trochanter not seen
Look for any bony chip from posterior
lip of acetabulum or head
CT if fracture suspected
Closed reduction,emergency
Open reduction if
Closed reduction fails-late
presentation
Intra articular loose fragment not
allowing accurate reduction
If acetabular fragment is large and
from the weight bearing part of
acetabulum
COMPLICATIONS
Avascular necrosis of
femoral head
15-20%
Pain in hip after a painless period
following treatment
osteoarthritis
Late complication
Causes
1.
Avascular deformed head
2.
Incongruous acetabulum and femoral
head
. treatment conservative
. Total hip replacement
Myositis ossificans
Central fracture-dislocation
of hip
common
Femoral head is driven through
medial wall of acetabulum towards
pelvic cavity
Skeletal traction distally and
laterally:8-12 weeks
Surgical reconstruction of acetabular
floor
Complication: osteoarthritis and joint
stiffness
