  • Title: Open anterior-inferior hip dislocation.
    Author: Lamberti PM, Rabin SI.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2003 Jan; 17(1):65-6. PubMed ID: 12499971.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic hip dislocations result from high-energy trauma. These dislocations are usually posterior in direction and have severe associated injuries. The less common anterior dislocation is usually of the inferior type. We report a case of an open anterior-inferior hip dislocation secondary to a high-speed motor vehicle collision. The wound was in the medial upper ipsilateral thigh. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an adult with an open inferior-type anterior hip dislocation.
