“…Several contour lines seen at standard anteroposterior (AP) pelvic radiography aid in systematic interpretation (Fig 3) (18). Both the iliopectineal line (comprising the anterior column of the acetabulum) and the ilioischial line (comprising the posterior column) should be continuous and Hip dislocations in sporting activities are rare, representing only 2%-5% of hip dislocations, but may occur in high-velocity sports such as football and rugby (19)(20)(21). The position of the leg at the time of the trauma determines if the hip dislocates with or without fracture of the acetabulum or femoral head.…”

Traumatic Hip Dislocation: What the Orthopedic Surgeon Wants to Know

Hip dislocation is an important orthopedic emergency usually seen in young patients who have experienced high-energy trauma, often resulting in significant long-term morbidity. Rapid identification and reduction is critical, as prolonged dislocation increases the risk of developing avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and posttraumatic osteoarthritis is a common complication, even in the absence of associated fractures. Identification and timely management of hip dislocation are highly dependent on imaging, both at presentation and after attempted reduction. It is imperative for the radiologist to understand imaging features that guide management of hip dislocation to ensure timely identification, characterization, and communication of clinically relevant results. Although the importance of prompt identification of hip dislocation is universally recognized, the significance of imaging features that guide correct management and are thought to prevent complications is less emphasized in the radiology literature. In this article, the authors review the anatomy of the hip, common injury mechanisms for various types of dislocations, and imaging findings for associated injuries. They review the most commonly used classification systems and propose a simplified checklist approach to hip dislocation to aid rapid interpretation and communication of the most clinically relevant imaging features to the treating orthopedic surgeon.

“…Letournel and Judet [13] showed that the posterior rim of the acetabulum bears the impact from the femoral head in this leg position. Acetabular fractures from sports are a rare occurrence and cases have often involved the same mechanism of injury as in our case [14,15]. Joint reactive force (JRF) is involved in hip joint biomechanics and represents the sum of the mechanical forces acting across the hip joint.…”

Acetabular fractures following rugby tackles: a case series

IntroductionRugby is the third most popular team contact sport in the world and is increasing in popularity. In 1995, rugby in Europe turned professional, and with this has come an increased rate of injury.Case presentationIn a six-month period from July to December, two open reduction and internal fixations of acetabular fractures were performed in young Caucasian men (16 and 24 years old) who sustained their injuries after rugby tackles. Both of these cases are described as well as the biomechanical factors contributing to the fracture and the recovery. Acetabular fractures of the hip during sport are rare occurrences.ConclusionOur recent experience of two cases over a six-month period creates concern that these high-energy injuries may become more frequent as rugby continues to adopt advanced training regimens. Protective equipment is unlikely to reduce the forces imparted across the hip joint; however, limiting 'the tackle' to only two players may well reduce the likelihood of this life-altering injury.

“…But to our knowledge, there is no case reported that have a pure hip dislocation when playing non-contact sport like tennis. In English literature there are 21 traumatic hip dislocations with and without fracture in sports activity [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Among all these -6 rugby, 5 soccer, 2 futsal and one each water skiing, equestrian, gymnastic, jogging, skiing, biking, sledge, basketball player had traumatic hip dislocation-only five of them were pure dislocations.…”

Introduction: Isolated traumatic posterior hip dislocation is seen as an extremely rare incident during sport activities. In this case report we aimed to present an isolated traumatic posterior hip dislocation of an amateur tennis player. case report: A 26-year-old female patient who was injured during playing tennis was brought to our orthopedic emergency unit and diagnosed with pure posterior hip dislocation. Her hip was immediately reduced under sedation which then a rehabilitation program was begun. conclusion: Amateur people generally play tennis on cement floor which may result in hip dislocation, if slipped. to prevent dislocations and these kinds of extreme injuries non-slippery shoes and shock absorbable relatively soft surfaces to play must be preferred by the players.
