Abstract

Background

Obturator dislocation of the hip is an uncommon condition, rarely isolated because it is often associated with a fracture of the acetabulum or the femoral head. It is easy to diagnose because of the abnormal limb positioning it causes, and radiography confirms the diagnosis. The increased risk of complications, particularly avascular necrosis of the femoral head, makes it an emergency for reduction, but the time frame for reduction remains open to debate.

Case Report

We report the case of an isolated post-traumatic anteroinferior (obturator) dislocation of the hip in a young man and its clinical, radiological and follow up aspects.

Why should an emergency physician be aware of this

Understanding the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects of an obturator hip dislocation is crucial for an emergency physician, as this condition, although rare, can be serious. It typically results from a violent trauma that may conceal life-threatening injuries and can lead to long-term disabling; complications.
