Traumatic Native Hip Dislocation

Native hip dislocation is a critical orthopedic emergency necessitating prompt reduction to prevent severe long-term sequelae such as avascular necrosis and early osteoarthritis. Dislocations can be anterior or posterior, dictated by the femoral head’s position relative to the acetabulum. High-velocity trauma is the predominant cause, although sports injuries are notable contributors. Anterior dislocations are further categorized into anterosuperior and anteroinferior types, while posterior dislocations involve distinct hip movements. Immediate closed reduction is crucial, with surgical intervention reserved for complex cases. Effective rehabilitation and protective measures are essential for preventing recurrence and ensuring a return to athletic activities.
