“…We noted, that the commonest joint dislocated in our series is the hip joint 84 cases (66.6%) while the shoulder joint accounted for 20 cases (15.9%) of the series. This differs sharply with some other studies that put the shoulder joint ahead as the most commonly dislocated joint in the body [1,5,6]. However, Sadat Ali et al [9] in their work noted a result similar to ours where hip dislocation was commoner than shoulder dislocation.…”

Dislocation of a joint is the total disruption of that joint such that bones forming the joint are no longer in contact. The disruption is usually due to application of an unexpected or an unbalanced force to the joint. In America and Europe the shoulder joint is the most dislocated joint. Need to document pattern of major joint dislocations and their causes in our environment prompted this work. Data was collected using the medical records of the hospital via patients' folders, Ward admission registers and Theatre registers of patients admitted from January 2007 to December 2016. The inclusion criteria were all patients admitted into the hospital with closed dislocation due to trauma. Only dislocations involving major lower and upper limb joints were considered. Open dislocations were excluded. 124 patients with 126 dislocations involving 82 males and 42 females were found. The commoner forms of dislocations noted were hip dislocation 84 cases (66.7%) and shoulder dislocation 20 cases (15.8%). Dislocations were seen most in the third decade life. One patient had hip and shoulder dislocation simultaneously and another had bilateral hip dislocations.

Upper-extremity fractures account for more than half of childhood bony injuries. The frequency of injury increases with increasing mobility. The most common mechanism is a fall on an outstretched hand while playing. Optimal management requires knowledge of the normal anatomy and variants unique to pediatric bones. The physician needs to maintain a high level of suspicion for growth plate injuries because if unrecognized, these may result in growth arrest. Although the vast majority of pediatric upper-extremity fractures will heal rapidly with minimal intervention, physicians should be aware of the complications that can arise from these injuries.

“…Much research has been done on upper extremity injuries in specific sports (Benjamin & Hang, 2007;Brooks & Hammer, 2013). Consequently, it has been suggested that most upper extremity injuries in children occur during sports (Brooks & Hammer, 2013).…”

Although injuries to the upper extremity are most costly, the picture of the upper extremity injury problem remains incomplete. This study is the first to describe the etiology and mechanisms of upper extremity injuries in Danish children. A 2.5-year observational prospective cohort study was conducted to record upper extremity injuries in 1048 children. Data were weekly collected by sending a text message. A total of 176 upper extremity injuries were reported (128 acute injuries). Of the acute upper extremity injuries, 55% were sprains, 47% occurred in the hand/wrist, and 53% of cases were caused by a fall. When corrected for exposure to physical activity, this resulted in an acute upper extremity injury incidence density of 0.18 per 1000 h of physical activity. The odds of sustaining an upper extremity injury was higher in the older children (HR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.10-3.09), a tendency was found suggesting that girls are at increased acute upper extremity risk compared to boys (HR: 1.40 95% CI: 0.97-2.04). The findings that most injuries occur after a fall, that injury risk increases over age and that girls seem to be at increased injury risk provides essential information to guide future childhood injury prevention.
