Abstract
Introduction: Traumatic dislocation of the hip in children is a rare injury. We report the outcome of 2 patients of neglected hip dislocation which were treated by open reduction and internal fixation by k-wires.
Case Report: We treat 2 children both girls (one was of 4 years and other was 7 years of age) .In both cases dislocation was unilateral and was not associated with any facture .Both cases were of posterior dislocation . in both cases open reduction and internal fixation was done by k wires. Hip spica was applied post operatively in both cases .The k wire was removed at 3 to 4 weeks. Patients were allowed to bear weight from gradual to full weight bearing after 6 weeks.
Conclusion: We conclude that open reduction is a satisfactory treatment for neglected hip dislocation. It prevents not only deformity but also maintains limb length.
Keywords: Neglected, open reduction. k wires, femoral head.
