Traumatic anterior hip dislocation associated with anterior and inferior iliac spines avulsions and a capsular-labral lesion.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A 16-year-old man had a traumatic accident during motor-cross racing and sustained an anterior hip dislocation with fracture of anterior superior and anterior inferior iliac spines. The hip was emergently reduced and further imaging was obtained to evaluate the lesion and bony fragments. Computed tomography confirmed the presence of two large fragments and a small fragment from the antero-inferior acetabulum. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the iliac spines and the reparation of anterior hip capsule. No complications occur after 1 year of follow-up. We present the case and a review of the literature for this lesion.
