  • Title: [Traumatic hip dislocation with diaphyseal fracture of the femur in a 5-year-old girl].
    Author: Vialas M.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1986; 72(1):81-4. PubMed ID: 3726210.
    Abstract:
    The author reports a very unusual association of a traumatic dislocation of the hip with a fracture of the ipsilateral femoral shaft in a five-year-old child. The review of the literature reveals that, in such cases, the dislocation was often missed at first. In the reported case, conservative reduction of the dislocation was not possible and surgical reduction was needed. Closed treatment was applied for the femoral fracture. After a four year follow-up, the child was completely normal with no limb length discrepancy. The orientation of the femoral neck was normal.
