Hip_Dislocation

Hip Dislocation Hip dislocations are an orthopaedic emergency due to the vast amount of trauma that can be caused to the neurovascular system that correlates to the hip. JA is an eighteen-year-old male patient who was consulted at Wilkes Barre General ER on August 11, 2003. JA was at football practice and was hit by another football player in the area of his anterior hip. JA felt his hip ¡§pop out¡¨ and fell to the ground immediately in pain. JA was unable to get up, bear weight, or walk on his leg after the injury. An ambulance was called and he was brought to the ER. JA denies any numbness or tingling in his lower right extremity, inferior to his injury. He has good sensation to light touch in his lower right extremity and his skin is warm and pink. There is a palpable pedal and popliteal pulse. JA reports a similar injury four months prior for which he was treated at CMC hospital in Scranton. At that time he was diagnosed with a posterior hip dislocation, which was reduced, and he was discharged.
