Introduction: Luxatio erecta femoris or inferior hip dislocation is the rarest type of hip dislocation. It can be caused by a severe trauma to the hip and the mechanism of injury is often very complex. Very few cases have been reported in the literature, and often associated with other musculoskeletal injuries. Overall about 3026 cases were reported till recently. Case Presentations:We came across five cases of Luxatio erecta femoris from our six year study period from 2015 to 2020. All five cases were males (mean age-28.4 years, age range 20–40 years). All of them were isolated injuries (pure dislocation without any associated femur, acetabular, or pelvic fractures). We will present the details of these cases along with review of literature, trying to unravel the mechanism of such an injuries. Conclusion:With the increase in high energy road traffic accidents, the incidence of luxatio erecta femoris in adults has increased. We could identify all those injuries and treated it with excellent clinical outcome. This type of rare dislocations if properly identified, we can manage it without much delay and very minimal complications. Keywords:Luxatio erecta femoris, dislocation, trauma.

“…A total of 14 articles reporting on 13 men and 4 women aged 5 to 56 (mean, 23) years with 16 unilateral and one bilateral inferior dislocation of the hip were reviewed (Table). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] One patient had a concurrent displaced fracture of the ipsilateral proximal femur. 10 Six patients were children, [1][2][3][4]6,13 of whom 2 were injured when another child fell onto their back as they fell.…”

“…6 The mechanism of injury included road traffic accidents (n=5), falling while running (n=4), sports related (n=4), falling from a height (n=2), falling from a bicycle (n=1), and falling from a tree branch onto a leg (n=1). Most patients presented with an ischial-type dislocation, with extreme hip flexion, prominence of the greater trochanter, and the thigh touching the anterior abdominal wall, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]11 whereas some presented with varying degrees of flexion, abduction, and external rotation, indicating an associated fracture, a chronic injury, or an obturator-type dislocation. 9,10,12 All dislocations were treated with closed reduction under sedation or general anaesthesia, followed by varying regimens of traction and restricted weightbearing.…”

“…Four patients were lost to followup. 4,5,8,9 A limitation of this study was that meta-analysis was not performed and that only case reports and case series were reviewed. Nonetheless, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used to minimise publication bias.…”

We report on a 17-year-old man who underwent open reduction and internal fixation for an inferior dislocation of the right hip and displaced fractures of the right femoral head and neck, and antegrade intramedullary nailing for a displaced fracture of the left femoral shaft. In addition, 13 men and 4 women aged 5 to 56 (mean, 23) years with 16 unilateral and one bilateral inferior dislocation of the hip were reviewed from the literature.

Inferior dislocation of the hip is a rare clinical entity, wherein closed reduction maneuver could be challenging, especially if the attending surgeon is not familiar with the specific anatomy associated with this injury. Due to the rarity of this type of injury, large case series are lacking in the literature; hence, case reports form the major source of our knowledge regarding the clinical presentation and management. An extensive literature search revealed a change in age group presenting with this specific injury, with a male predilection. They were frequently cited in the pediatric age group of less than 16 years in the last century. Recently, the cases have been documented in adults. An up-to-date review of the current literature on the mechanism of injury, clinical presentation, management, outcomes and complications of inferior dislocation of hip has been highlighted in this article. In addition, we share our experience with three such dislocations presenting in adult males with an age range of 38-62 years.
