abstract="Traumatic hip dislocations in children are not frequent but constitute true emergencies. They require urgent reduction because of the risk of consecutive avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We report a 6-year-old boy with traumatic posterior hip dislocation on a vacation abroad. After closed reduction the day of the accident, a hip spica cast was applied and the patient was transferred home. Once home, X‑ray and CT diagnostics were completed by MRI. In future, long-term clinical and radiological investigations for avascular necrosis and growth disorders, as well as thoroughly informing the parents, should be mandatory.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
