Hip Dislocation Flashcards
soft tissue constraints on the hip joint
labrum
capsule
ligamentum teres
pure dislocation without associated fracture
simple dislocation
what is a simple dislocation?
pure dislocation without associated fracture
dislocation associated with fracture of acetabulum or proximal femur
complex dislocation
what is a complex dislocation
dislocation associated with fracture of acetabulum or proximal femur
most common direction of dislocation
posterior
occur with axial load on femur, typically with hip flexed and adducted
posterior dislocation
posterior dislocation biomechanics
occur with axial load on femur, typically with hip flexed and adducted
axial load through flexed knee (dashboard injury)
posterior dislocation
increasing flexion and adduction favors ____ dislocation
simple
increasing flexion and _____ favors simple dislocation
adduction
posterior dislocation associations
osteonecrosis
posterior wall acetabular fracture
femoral head fractures
sciatic nerve injuries
ipsilateral knee injuries (up to 25%)
associated with femoral head impaction or chondral injury
anterior dislocation
anterior dislocation associated with femoral head impaction or ____
chondral injury
anterior dislocation associated with ____ or chondral injury
femoral head impaction
occurs with the hip in abduction and external rotation
anterior dislocation
anterior dislocation occurs with the hip in _____ and external rotation
abduction
anterior dislocation occurs with the hip in abduction and ____
external rotation
anterior dislocation can be further classified as
superior or inferior
hip extension results in a _____ (pubic) dislocation
superior
hip _____ results in a superior (pubic) dislocation
extension
Clinically hip appears in extension and external rotation
superior/anterior dislocation
flexion results in _____ (obturator) dislocation
inferior
_____ results in inferior (obturator) dislocation
flexion
Clinically hip appears in flexion, abduction, and external rotation
inferior/anterior
symptoms
acute pain, inability to bear weight, deformity
____% of dislocations with associated injuries
95
associated with posterior wall and anterior femoral head fracture
posterior dislocation
hip and leg in slight flexion, adduction, and internal rotation
posterior dislocation
posterior dislocation associated with ____ fracture
posterior wall and anterior femoral head
percentage of posterior dislocations with sciatic nerve injury
10-20%
examine ____ for associated injury or instability
knee
