Article Synopsis
- Traumatic hip dislocations need quick diagnosis and treatment to keep the hip joint functional, but the typical signs may not always be present.
- This case report presents an unusual instance of a posterior hip dislocation that stayed locked despite the ability to move the hip, occurring alongside a unstable pelvic injury, without the usual femoral head fracture.
- The success of open reduction was achieved after recognizing that the femoral head was trapped, highlighting the importance of careful evaluation in similar injury cases.
In order to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the treatment and outcomes in patients with proximal femoral fracture’s (PFF), we analyzed a national US sample. This is a retrospective review of American College of Surgery’s (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) for patients with proximal femoral fractures. A total of 26,830 and 26,300 patients sustaining PFF and undergoing surgical treatment were sampled during 2019 and 2020, respectively.

The first known descriptions of surgical fixation of acetabular fractures were case reports in 1943. In 1964, Robert Judet, Jean Judet, and Émile Letournel published a landmark article describing a classification system and surgical approaches to treat acetabular fractures.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFragility fractures of the pelvis are common and the incidence is increasing with the aging population. The primary risk factor is osteoporosis. Diagnosis is challenging and advanced imaging with computed tomography (CT), bone scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful.

- The aging population is leading to more cases of multiple trauma in elderly individuals.
- Older patients face higher mortality rates and complications compared to younger patients after major trauma due to their weaker physiological state and existing health issues.
- Managing elderly trauma patients necessitates a specialized approach tailored to their unique needs and challenges.
