Traumatic Hip Dislocation in Children

Treatment and Results in Paediatric Traumatic Hip Dislocation: Case series and review of the literature

“…[5,[16][17][18] Posterior dislocations are much more frequent than anterior dislocations similar to the adult age group. [5,6,14,19] Our findings were consistent with the literature.…”

“…[1,[10][11][12][13] Higher energy traumas such as falls from height and traffic accidents are prominent in children over the age of ten. [14,15] THD is classified as anterior, posterior, central and inferior. It is three to four times more frequently encountered in boys than girls.…”

“…In the literature, sciatic nerve palsy has been found between 5% and 20%. [14,19] However, among all complications, AVN has the worst prognosis. [12,14,19] The velocity of trauma, age at the time of injury, the interval between initial trauma and reduction, and fractured dislocation have been emphasized as predisposing factors in the development of AVN.…”

“…[14,19] However, among all complications, AVN has the worst prognosis. [12,14,19] The velocity of trauma, age at the time of injury, the interval between initial trauma and reduction, and fractured dislocation have been emphasized as predisposing factors in the development of AVN. [9,13,21,26] The possibility of AVN increases in older children…”

“…[3,9] AVN usually develops in the first three years. [14,19] In the literature, AVN rate has been reported 3-15% in patients whose reduction has been performed in six hours. AVN rate reaches up to 100% in neglected THD patients [9,13,[15][16][17]19,27] However, recent studies have found that AVN rate is less than 5%.…”
