Combined Anterolateral and Posterior Approach in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Chronic Post-traumatic Hip Dislocation: A Case Report
CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE(2024)
Abstract
Hip dislocation is rare, and it typically results from high-energy trauma such as traffic accidents. Its management involves prompt reduction of the dislocated hip to minimize the risk of subsequent femoral head necrosis. Consequently, cases of chronic hip dislocation are extremely rare. This report presents a case of a 33 -year -old male with chronic posterior hip dislocation due to a traffic accident 13 years ago. The left femoral head was completely dislocated posteriorly from the acetabulum, forming a false acetabulum with an arthritic change. The patient experienced difficulty walking and performing daily activities due to pain. We performed a total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a combined anterolateral and posterior approach. The outcome was favorable, with no complications during the two-year follow-up period. THA using a combined anterolateral and posterior approach is a valuable option for patients with chronic post -traumatic hip dislocation because it offers the advantages of optical visibility and the management of the adhered soft tissues.
