Summary
The authors describe a case of a recurrent posterior traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child in whom early arthrography demonstrated a large defect of the posterior capsule. The authors emphasize the necessity of prolonged immobilization and longterm follow-up. The operation of the patient was performed on the 7th day after the third recurrence of the dislocation. Revision and suture of the capsular defect from Gibson's approach were done.
Zusammenfassung
Es wird über eine rezidivierende hintere traumatische Hüftluxation bei einem Kind berichtet. Eine Arthrographie unmittelbar nach der dritten Reluxation deckte einen großen Defekt in der hinteren Gelenkkapsel auf. Dieser wurde 7 Tage nach der dritten Reluxation von einem hinteren Zugang aus (Gibson) revidiert und verschlossen. Die Autoren betonen die Notwendigkeit einer langen Immobilisation und einer langen Nachbeobachtung.
