Published: December 2024

Introduction: Although posterior dislocation of the hip is common, bilateral posterior hip dislocation in children is an infrequent presentation. Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance to prevent complications. Here, we report a case of traumatic bilateral posterior hip dislocation following a high-velocity motor vehicle accident.

Case Report: A 13-year-old boy was brought to the emergency department following high-energy trauma due to a motor vehicular accident. He was in considerable pain with both hips in flexion, adduction, and internal rotation. There was a restriction to the range of movement at bilateral hip joints. Clinical and radiological examination revealed a bilateral posterior hip dislocation.

Conclusion: Posterior hip dislocation is the most common type of hip dislocation. However, bilateral posterior hip dislocation is quite rare. This clinical presentation in the pediatric population is rarer still with very little published literature. Diagnosis and emergent treatment of the same is essential to prevent complications.

Introduction: Hip fractures are common in elderly patients, often accompanied by comorbidities. These fractures can be combined with other injuries, such as a femoral head, neck, or shaft dislocation. The cause of this complex injury is not well-established, but factors like high-energy trauma or falls from a certain height may contribute.

Iliopsoas Abscess Mimicking a Lower Motor Neuron Lesion: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Iliopsoas abscess is a rare infection that presents with a triad of fever, back pain, and hip pain. However, due to the anatomical proximity of the psoas muscle to various structures, an abscess in this region can manifest with nonspecific symptoms, leading to potential misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, which can be fatal. We report a case of a 54-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with right-sided flank pain and symptoms resembling lower motor neuron disorder.

This study compared the effects of 90° versus 40° hip flexion in the leg extension exercise on quadriceps femoris muscle hypertrophy. Twenty-two untrained men completed a ten-week intervention comprising two resistance training sessions per week. A within-participant design was used, with the lower limb side randomly allocated to the 40 or 90° condition.

Introduction: Acetabulum fractures involving both columns are complicated injuries to treat, and achieving satisfactory post operative reduction with less extensile approaches is difficult. These injuries often require dual approaches, associated with their own share of complications. The anterior intrapelvic approach (AIP) addresses both columns through a single approach, minimizing these complications.
