Traumatic Hip Dislocation Associated with Iatrogenic Proximal Femoral Physeal Fracture in Children: A Systematic Review and Case Report

Abstract

Background: Traumatic hip dislocation (THD), which accounts for 3% of all joint dislocations in children which is a rare condition. pediatric hip dislocation with transphyseal femoral neck fracture accounts for less than one percent of all hip injuries. Less than 8% of hip fractures and 1% of pediatric fractures are caused by femoral head and neck fractures. A high rate of complications is linked to transphyseal femoral neck fracture related THD. Avascular necrosis, premature epiphyseal closure, nonunion, soft tissue loss injuries in open fracture-dislocation that necessitate negative pressure wound therapy, leg length discrepancy, coxavara, and the angular deformity that goes along with it are list of these complications.
