Traumatic hips dislocation in childhood. a report of 2 cases and review of literature

ABSTRACT

Two cases of traumatic dislocation of the hip in childhood are presented. Both the dislocations were posterior and involved the left hip joints. Closed reduction was carried out in both the cases with a click within one and a half hours and within eight hours of injury respectively. No complication occurred in either of the patients. The second case was associated with an undisplaced greenstick fracture of the lower third of the ipsilateral femur. The results are graded as excellent in both the cases at follow up as both the patients have normal hip joints
