Posterior dislocations is when the femoral head lies posteriorly after dislocation. [5] It is the most common pattern of dislocation accounting for 90% of hip dislocations, [5] and those with an associated fracture are categorized by the Thompson and Epstein classification system, the Stewart and Milford classification system, and the Pipkin system (when associated with femoral head fractures).

Pipkin: posterior dislocation of hip with avulsion fracture of fragment of femoral head by the ligamentum teres: impact to the knee with the hip flexed (dashboard injury) Type II-V: Posterior Fracture Dislocations at Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics online Pott's fracture [4] Percival Pott: bimalleolar fracture ...
Dislocations can occur in any major joint (shoulder, knees, etc.) or minor joint (toes, fingers, etc.). The most common joint dislocation is a shoulder dislocation. [1] Treatment for joint dislocation is usually by closed reduction, that is, skilled manipulation to return the bones to their normal position. Reduction should only be performed by ...
Hip Dislocation. A hip dislocation occurs when the ball of the hip joint moves out of place from where it’s supposed to be in the socket. The most common cause is car accidents. Jumping down ...
The Thompson and Epstein classification is a system of categorizing posterior fracture/dislocations of the hip. [1] [2] Classification. Type Description I
An acetabular labrum tear or hip labrum tear is a common injury of the acetabular labrum resulting from a number of causes including running, hip dislocation, and deterioration with ageing. Most are thought to result from a gradual tear due to repetitive microtrauma .
The Ortolani test is part of the physical examination for developmental dysplasia of the hip, along with the Barlow maneuver. [1] Specifically, the Ortolani test is positive when a posterior dislocation of the hip is reducible with this maneuver. [citation needed] This is part of the standard infant exam performed preferably in early infancy.
The pelvic bone, also known as the innominate bone, is formed by three bones fused together: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. The musculature of the hip is divided into anterior hip muscles and posterior hip muscles. The major nerve supply that runs through the hip joint is the femoral nerve and the sciatic nerve. [16]
