Abstract
Traumatic dislocations of the hip appear to be on the rise in North America. Multidetector
CT, hip arthroscopy, and high field MRI have further defined the pathoanatomy of hip
dislocations. They can be divided into simple and complex dislocations. At the University
of Louisville, an algorithm has been developed to facilitate rapid and accurate diagnosis
and treatment of simple hip dislocations. In contrast to the treatment of simple hip
dislocations, the treatment of complex hip dislocations (fracture-dislocations) is
generally predicated on specific treatments of the associated fracture (e.g., femoral
head fracture, femoral neck fracture, acetabular fracture, etc.). This review includes
the mechanism of injury, epidemiology, associated injuries, evaluation, treatment,
and functional outcomes of simple hip dislocations.
