Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip is a relatively uncommon injury, and when it does occur it is frequently combined with osteochondral fracture of the femoral head or the acetabulum. Anterior dislocation of the hip with an associated fracture of the ipsilateral greater trochanter is extremely rare. This paper presents a case of this rare type of injury and clarifies the mechanism of the injury using a cadaver specimen.

High Rate of Complications With Early Conversion Hip Arthroplasty Following Fracture Treatment.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

November 2024

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation Loyola University Health System, Maywood, IL (Dr. Grayson, Dr. Eikani, and Dr. Brown); and the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Maywood, IL (Ms. Benson and Mr. Jozefowski).

Background: Conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with higher rates of complications compared with primary THA, with prior surgical fixation of fractures in the ipsilateral hip shown to further increase these rates. There is a scarcity of literature on the effect of timing of conversion THA on complication rates. In this study, we evaluated early (≤6 months of index surgery) and late (>6 months of index surgery) conversion to THA following prior fixation of the proximal femur or acetabulum.

Objective: To determine the feasibility, yield, and safety of fluoroscopic-guided aspiration of the acutely dislocated total hip arthroplasty (AD-THA).

Materials And Methods: IRB-approved, retrospective review of fluoroscopic-guided aspirations of AD-THA (January 2005-December 2023) was performed. Data from electronic charts and fluoroscopy images/reports were obtained.

Purpose: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic delayed elective procedures such as total joint arthroplasty. As surgical volumes return to prepandemic levels, understanding the implications of COVID-19 becomes imperative. This study explored the effects of COVID-19 on the short-term outcomes of hip arthroplasty.

Case: We present 3 cases demonstrating radiographic posterior subluxation in lateral functional radiographs taken in the flexed-seated position. Two of the patients were asymptomatic, and 2 showed the posterior translation of the femoral head, which is almost a dislocation, with spontaneous reduction. The subluxation can occur not only in patients after lumbar fusion surgery but also in patients with relatively normal lumbar spine due to excessive hip flexion.

A 78-year-old woman with a prosthetic hip dislocation underwent a pericapsular nerve group block for regional anesthesia. The hip spontaneously reduced before manual intervention, likely due to the block's analgesic and muscle-relaxing effects. Compared to other techniques, this block effectively targets hip innervation while sparing motor function.
