  • Title: Pseudosubluxation of the hip joint. A case report.
    Author: Tornetta P, French BG.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1999 Jul; (364):160-3. PubMed ID: 10416405.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 32-year-old man who had a subluxation of his hip joint after open reduction and internal fixation for an acetabular fracture is presented. The subluxation resolved without surgical intervention. It is thought that the subluxation, herein termed pseudosubluxation, is similar to pseudosubluxation seen in the shoulder. The patient had sustained significant trauma to the abductor musculature and lateral hip region with a Morel-Lavelle lesion and a hip fracture coincident with his acetabular fracture. This entity has not been reported previously.
