Hip Dislocation – A Detailed Guide

Hip dislocation is a medical emergency and if you suspect an abnormal alignment of your hip, it is advised not to move it on your own. In such cases, it is important to visit an orthopedic specialist. Acute pain is often there with hip dislocation and timely management can prevent severe complications.

Reduction is the procedure that is performed to bring the dislocated hip back to its natural alignment. This procedure needs special expertise and knowledge, hence, must be carried out by a specialist.

During hip reduction, the healthcare service provider will physically move the hip joint back to its original position. This process can be painful and to curb pain, the healthcare service provider may give anesthesia.

Now, the reduction can be performed externally or internally. When it comes to external hip reduction, the healthcare service provider will prefer it when there are no secondary injuries. It is also known as closed reduction.

While on the other hand, surgery may be required when there are secondary injuries along with a dislocated hip. Surgery is also an option for infants with a dislocated hip because of hip dysplasia. It minimizes the risk of future hip dislocation.

Hip dislocations in people who have had a hip replacement will also need surgery. In such cases, implant replacement may be required.
