Abstract
Traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in children is an uncommon injury and is considered as an
orthopedic emergency. In children, it can occur as a result of minimal trauma, which is attributed
to a soft pliable acetabulum and ligamentous laxity. In skeletally mature adolescents, a greater
force is required to dislocate the hip joint. Delayed reduction will result in long-term complications
such as avascular necrosis and degenerative arthritis. Avascular necrosis is related to the duration
of dislocation. A poorer prognosis is associated with delay in reduction beyond 6 hours, advanced
skeletal maturity, or multiple traumas. We report a 18-month child with traumatic dislocation of hip
that was reduced within 6 hours of occurrence. The follow up visit after 1 year revealed normal
physical examination and no evidence of any post-traumatic changes were noted.. Post-reduction
treatment remains without a consensus.
