Closed reduction of hip dislocation associated with ipsilateral lower extremity fractures: A case report and review of the literature.

Background: Traumatic hip dislocation usually occurs following high-velocity trauma.

However, closed reduction can hardly be achieved in patients who also have ipsilateral lower extremity fractures.

The objective of surgery for acetabular fractures is to achieve precise reduction to restore joint congruence, fix internal bone fragments, avoid displacement of the fracture and allow rapid rehabilitation.Open reduction and internal fixation is the benchmark method for displaced acetabular fractures, but open reductions can increase morbidity, causing neurovascular injury, blood loss, heterotopic bone formation, infection and poor wound healing.An anatomical reduction with a gap of 2 mm or less is a predictor of good joint function and reduced risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of anterior column acetabular fractures.

These approaches have been associated with significant blood loss, infection, lengthy operative times, and neurovascular complications. It therefore seems reasonable to consider less invasive alternatives to conventional treatment methods.
