TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip JO - Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery A1 - Dawson, I. A1 - van Rijn, A. B. SP - 55 EP - 57 VL - 108 IS - 1 N2 - A discussion is presented of traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip joint on the basis of three representative case reports. One patient had an iliac or pubic dislocation, the other two were obturator dislocations, including one with an associated femoral head fracture. All three patients were treated without surgery. After an average follow-up time of twenty-seven months, the results were excellent. Therapeutic guide-lines and recommendations are given for this infrequent type of injury.
