A dislocated hip prosthesis is a common occurrence in the Emergency Department. To combat this problem, orthopedists use constraint devices in an attempt to reduce the incidence of dislocation. However, when these devices fail, a more complicated case arises. We discuss a case report in which a patient presented with a dislocation of his hip after implantation of a constrained total hip arthroplasty. We describe a closed reduction procedure using deep sedation, fluoroscopy, and adequate assistance.

Most women in low- and middle-income countries already receive antenatal care and over half give birth in health facilities. In cities, use of health facilities for childbirth is near universal (>90%).

Distal humerus physeal separation is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed injury in infants and young children, frequently resulting in delayed treatment. We report three cases of distal humerus physeal separation that presented with different clinical scenarios with different management approaches. The first case describes a nine-month-old girl who was initially treated for presumed elbow cellulitis before presentation to our centre six weeks later.
