Osteoid osteoma of the acetabulum is rare and its treatment represents a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with osteoid osteoma in the acetabulum who was treated with a controlled hip dislocation and a gamma probe guide to facilitate excision. The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology. The patient was asymptomatic immediately after surgery and remained so at long-term follow-up.
La luxación de cadera de tipo anterior-obturatriz es una patología inusual en la ortopedia pediátrica, pero con complicaciones potencialmente graves en la evolución. A propósito, presentamos el caso de una niña de 14 años que sufrió una luxación anterior-obturatriz secundaria a un traumatismo de alta energía. Se le realizo reducción cerrada en block quirúrgico bajo anestesia general, con buena evolución y sin complicaciones, con un seguimiento 24 meses.
