Trauma is primary mechanism. In adults, requires substantial force vectors (MVC, fall from a height)
==Clinical Features==
===Posterior Dislocation===
*Extremity is shortened, internally rotated, adducted
*Neurovascular exam may review sciatic nerve compromise


Because of force required, 50% will have other fractures or significant injuries
===Anterior Dislocation===
*Extremity is extended (superior) or flexed (inferior), externally rotated, abducted<ref>Alonso JE, et al. A review of the treatment of hip dislocations associated with acetabular fractures. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2000; 377(8):32-43.</ref>

*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)
**If associated femoral neck fracture, will likely need orthopedics
*Consider Judet views
*Consider knee xray
*Consider CT to evaluate acetabulum for subtle fractures (esp for posterior dislocation)


===Diagnosis===
*Diagnosed typically via radiograph (see above)

*Provider's knee behind supine patients flexed knee with anterior force lifting (via provider plantar flexing foot) and rotation as needed
*Successful in patients with prosthetic hips as well
*Poses less risk of knee injury since most force is applied by lifting leg rather than applying leverage at knee
*Less risk to provider who does not have to stand on top of gurney, and requires only one provider


Central = direct impact to lateral aspect.

[[File:Waddell_Technique.jpg|thumb|The Waddell technique]]
*A modified Allis Maneuver that allows the provider to follow back safety recommendations provided by OSHA
*Provider hovers over patient on the bed and places their forearm under the patient's knee
*The provider squats down, draping their forearm over their knees with the elbow on one knee and wrist/hand over the other knee
*Provider then leans back, pivoting on feet and holding the patient's leg close to their chest, while an assistant stabilizes the pelvis


Mortality primarily due to associated injuries
===Anterior===
*Reduction: traction, internal rotation, and then external rotation once the femoral hip clears the acetabular rim


Head, thorax & pelvis
==Disposition==
*If reduced, outpatient with ortho follow up


===Post Reduction Care===
*Maintain dislocation precautions:
**Do not bend the operated hip past 90 degrees
***Zimmer splint or other knee immobilizer can help with this as most individuals cannot flex hip without flexing knee
**Do not cross the midline of the body with operated leg (use hip abduction pillow)
**Do not rotate the operated leg inward
**In bed, toes and knee cap should point toward ceiling
*Toe-touch or feather weight-bearing


==Presentation==
==Complications==
*Post-traumatic arthritis
**20% in simple dislocations
**Common in complex dislocations
*Femoral head osteonecrosis
**5-40%
**Delay in reduction >6 hours increases risk
*Sciatic nerve injury (check EHL function - toe extension)
**8-20% incidence
**Delay in reduction increases risk
*Recurrent dislocations: <2%

NB: not true if there is associated femoral fx
[[Category:Orthopedics]]
 
Look for:
 
-Loss of sensat posterior leg/foot (sciatic nerve)
 
-Loss of dorsiflexion (peroneal branch) or plantar flexion (tibial branch)
 
-LE pale / cool to touch (femoral art)
 
 
==W/U==
 
 
Usually obvious, but can be subtle on single AP view
 
Typically femoral head is seen lateral and superior to acetabulum
 
CT very accurate, and helps especially in delineating acetabular injury (where plain films are notoriously poor)
 
 
==Reduction==
 
 
Multiple techniques described (Allis/Stimson)
 
All involve longitudinal traction to unlock the femoral head, with gentle internal/external rotation to seat it in the acetabulum
 
ED success rate for native hip dislocation/reduction unclear
 
(10% reported, but not a pure series)
 
 
==Consequences==
 
 
Other injuries/life threats aside, the primary pathophysiology associated with hip dislocation is Avascular necrosis (AVN)
 
-Occurs in 10-20% of cases
 
-Time-dependant phenomenon
 
-6-hours is the cut-off
 
 
Sciatic Nerve injury: 10-15%
 
-Usually neuropraxia with eventual recovery expected
 
-Incidence of this 2.5X with delay > 6 hours for reduction
 
-Osteoarthritis: 10%-35%  30-70% after open-reduction
