TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child caused by trivial force for age JO - Case reports in orthopedics A1 - Furuya, Hiroyuki A1 - Shimamura, Yoshio A1 - Kaneko, Kazuo A1 - Sakuramoto, Hiroshi A1 - Hirata, Kazuhiro A1 - Arai, Yasuhisa SP - 467246 EP - 467246 VL - 2014 IS - N2 - Traumatic hip dislocation in children has a relatively rare occurrence. There are some residual complications, such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, growth disturbance caused by premature fusion, neurological injury, recurrent dislocation, and posttraumatic arthritis. There is no consensus in the literature about the period of non-weight bearing after reduction. A rare case of a 13-year-old boy of hip dislocation caused by trivial force for age is reported followed by review of the pediatric literatures with treatment recommendation.
