Background

  • Orthopedic emergency; reduction should occur w/in 6hr due to high risk of AVN
  • High-energy trauma is primary mechanism

Types

  • Posterior
    • 90% of hip dislocations
    • Acetabular fractures may result as well
  • Anterior
    • 10% of hip dislocations[1]
    • Can be superior (pelvic) or inferior (obturator)
    • Neurovascular compromise is unusual

Clinical Features

  • Posterior Dislocation
    • Extremity is shortened, internally rotated, adducted
    • Often Knee-to-Dashboard
    • Assess neurovascular exam
      • Sciatic nerve is most common compromised
  • Anterior Dislocation
    • Extremity is extended (superior) or flexed (inferior), externally rotated, abducted[2]
    • Similar to hip fracture

Differential Diagnosis

Hip pain

Acute Trauma

Chronic/Atraumatic

Diagnosis

  • Hip AP and lateral views
    • Posterior Dislocation: AP view femoral head posterior and superior to acetabulum
    • Anterior Dislocation: AP view shows femoral head in obturator foramen (inferior to acetabulum)
  • Consider Judet views
  • Consider knee xray
  • Consider CT to evaluate acetabulum for subtle fractures (esp for posterior dislocation)

Management

Reduction recommended within 6 hours to prevent avascular necrosis of the femoral head[3]

Posterior

  • Allis Maneuver: supine patient on table: deeper sedation (propofol helps with tissue relaxation); firm distal traction at flexed knee to pull head back into acetabulum; assistant stabilizes pelvis by pushing on ASISs

Anterior

  • Reduction: traction, internal rotation, and then external rotation once the femoral hip clears the acetabular rim

Post Reduction Care

  • Maintain dislocation precautions:
    • Do not bend the operated hip past 90 degrees.
    • Do not cross the midline of the body with operated leg.
    • Do not rotate the operated leg inward.
    • In bed, toes and knee cap should point toward ceiling.
  • For unstable hips, consider bracing and hip abduction pillow
  • Toe touch weight bearing

Complications

  • Post-traumatic arthritis
    • 20% in simple dislocations
    • high in complex dislocations
  • Femoral head osteonecrosis
    • 5-40% incidence
    • Delay in treatment >6 hours can lead to avascular necrosis of the femoral head => osteonecrosis
  • Sciatic nerve injury
    • 8-20% incidence
    • associated with longer time to reduction
  • Recurrent dislocations: <2%
