  • Title: Successful open reduction of a 5-month-old hip dislocation associated with a femoral head fracture.
    Author: Høiness P, Røise O.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2003 Feb; 17(2):131-4. PubMed ID: 12571505.
    Abstract:
    The long-term prognosis after open reduction of neglected posterior hip dislocations is poor; as such, primary arthroplasty is recommended by a number of authors. We present a patient with a 5-month-old posterior hip dislocation with concomitant paralysis of the sciatic nerve who had an open reduction. At a follow-up of 3.5 years, the patient has normal function with no signs of arthrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging scans, however, revealed partial avascular necrosis of the femoral head. A discussion based on the literature shows the uniqueness of this case.
