Image 25
- Acute hip dislocation in children is more common than hip fractures. Most of these fractures occur in the early adolescent age group.
- Most dislocations are posterior. In a posterior dislocation, the leg will be held in flexion, adduction, and internal rotation.
- In an anterior dislocation, the leg will be extended, abducted, and externally rotated.
