Pediatric Traumatic Hip Dislocation: How Common is it in the Asian Population? A Case Report and Review of Literature

Saqib Yasin et al. J Orthop Case Rep. 2023 Apr.

Abstract

Introduction: Pediatric hip dislocation is a rare event in the pediatric population. The management involves a timely diagnosis and emergent reduction for successful outcome.

Case report: We present a case of a 2-year-old male patient with a posterior dislocation of hip. The child underwent an emergent closed reduction using Allis maneuver. Subsequently, the child had an uneventful recovery and resumed his functional activity completely.

Conclusion: Posterior hip dislocation in a child is an extremely rare entity. The key to management in such a case is to timely diagnose and reduce it.

Keywords: Alli’s maneuver; Posterior hip dislocation; pediatric.
