Neglected traumatic posterior hip dislocation is not an uncommon condition seen in developing countries. Its treatment is fraught with great difficulties and controversies. Here we present a 31-year-old female patient presented to our hospital 2 years after sustaining an accident. She had gone through multiple treatments for her dislocated hip without any success. After arrival to our hospital, patient managed by constrained total hip replacement (THR). Her Harris hip score improved from 48 (preoperative) to 81 (postoperative). On follow-up she had a good range of movement of the hip with no pain, deformity and limb length discrepancy. Constrained THR provides promising results in neglected hip dislocation.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly effective surgical intervention for end-stage hip joint disorders. While common complications such as infection, dislocation, and prosthetic loosening are well-documented, rarer complications remain underreported. One such complication is foreign body interposition on the bearing surface, which can compromise joint mechanics and adversely affect outcomes.

Background: Patients who have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by aberrant collagen synthesis and processing, have an increased likelihood of requiring a total joint arthroplasty (TJA), including total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA). This study aimed to synthesize outcomes following TJA in patients who have EDS.

Methods: This study was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Background: Pediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNF) are rare but associated with a high rate of serious complications such as avascular femoral head necrosis (AVN). Major risk factors and prognostic tools for an AVN are still unclear. As AVN is a devastating complication, this study aims to evaluate the predictors for AVN following a PFNF.
