Surgical treatment of a traumatic open anterior hip dislocation in a child: A case report and review of 13 cases in the literature.

Due to the high probability of infection and avascular necrosis, traumatic open anterior hip dislocation poses a serious orthopedic emergency.

In this study, we present open anterior hip dislocation with both trochanteric fractures in a child and review other pediatric cases from the literature.
