Hip dislocations during sporting activities represent only 2%–5% of all hip dislocations. Most hip dislocations in sports can be categorised as “less complicated traumatic hip dislocations” by the Stewart-Milford classification due to the fact that minimal force is involved. The incidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head greatly increases if the time to reduction is more than six hours. We report the case of a 38-year-old football player who suffered hip dislocation while kicking the ball with the medial aspect of the right foot in an external rotated manner of the right hip. Closed reduction was performed within 2 hours; postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Six months later the patient is out of any complaints; there is no sign of AVN of the femoral head.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to present clinical and radiological outcome of a hip fracture-dislocation of the femoral head treated with biomimetic osteochondral scaffold.An 18-year-old male was admitted to the hospital after a motorcycle-accident. He presented with an obturator hip dislocation with a type IVA femoral head fracture according to Brumback classification system. The patient underwent surgery 5 days after accident. The largest osteochondral fragment was reduced and stabilized with 2 screws, and the small fragments were removed. The residual osteochondral area was replaced by a biomimetic nanostructured osteochondral scaffold. At 1-year follow-up the patient did not complain of hip pain and could walk without limp. At 2-year follow-up he was able to run with no pain and he returned to practice sports. Repeated radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging studies of the hip showed no signs of osteoarthritis or evidence of avascular necrosis. A hyaline-like signal on the surface of the scaffold was observed with restoration of the articular surface and progressive decrease of the subchondral edema.The results of the present study showed that the biomimetic nanostructured osteochondral scaffold could be a promising and safe option for the treatment of traumatic osteochondral lesions of the femoral head.Study Design: Case report.

Though uncommon, cases of traumatic hip dislocation have been reported in children worldwide. Averagely, it is recommended that the acceptable duration for reduction after such dislocations is about 6 hours. Even with that there is about 5% documented chance of developing avascular necrosis of the head of the femur. The incidence of avascular necrosis increases with delayed relocation of the femoral head. We report a case involving a 6-year-old girl with a 2-week delayed diagnosis of a left posterior hip dislocation that was reduced and followed up for 6 years.

Clinical introductionA 68-year-old man, with known spasticity and a total left hip arthroplasty (THA) performed 6 years ago, was brought to our ED after falling down the stairs. Laying on the stretcher, his left leg was internally rotated and in hyperflexion. An X-ray of the left hip was performed. The diagnosis of posterior hip dislocation was made (figure 1). The patient received sedation and analgesia with 75 mg propofol and 9 mg esketamine intravenously, and a closed reduction procedure was attempted using manual flexion, adduction, traction and internal rotation. Unfortunately, the reduction failed.Figure 1The patient’s X-ray.QuestionWhy is closed reduction not effective in this case?The femoral head is located more cranially expected, due to material failure. The whole THA should be replaced.This is an anterior dislocation. The closed reduction procedure should be performed by using extension, abduction, traction and internal rotation.The femoral head is not reduced centrally in the acetabulum and the closed reduction procedure should be repeated more forcefully.A dual-mobility cup is used and the liner is not in place anymore. Revision surgery is required.For answer see page 2

Dislocation of the hip is a critical injury that results from high-energy trauma. This paper describes a case of posterior dislocation of the right hip in a 35-year-old woman with associated ipsilateral femoral head fracture. Initial treatment included reduction of the right hip through posterior approach and fixation of the femoral head fracture with three absorbable screws. After 15-month follow-up, a full range of motion has been achieved and there are no signs of avascular necrosis, hip instability, or limping. The authors describe their method of surgery.

Introduction: Traumatic anterior hip dislocations are subdivided to obturator (inferior) and pubic (superior) dislocations by Epstein’s descriptive classification. This rare injury is thought to have favourable clinical outcomes. The incidence of associated femoral head and acetabular injuries has been low in past case series. We sought to revisit this injury and classification in the era of advanced imaging and contemporary surgical techniques. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of 15 patients treated for anterior hip dislocation was performed. Medical records were reviewed for demographic and surgical data. Imaging studies were revisited to determine direction of dislocation and associated fractures. Patients were assessed for pain, hip function using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), hip range of motion and radiographic changes. Mean follow-up time was 3 years. Results: Anterior dislocation occurred in an obturator (inferior), pubic (superior) or central direction. 9 patients had concomitant femoral head impaction and 7 patients suffered from acetabular fractures. 8 patients with an anterior hip dislocation underwent surgical treatment. This therapy, along with early range of motion and weight bearing, produced favourable clinical outcomes with 9 patients reporting no pain and an average mHHS of 83.8. 6 patients had heterotopic ossification at latest follow-up. Conclusions: Traumatic anterior hip dislocation is commonly associated with femoral head impaction and acetabular injuries which should be addressed operatively when appropriate to produce favourable results. In this paper, we propose a revision to the commonly used descriptive classification system.

Abstract Background There has been a rapid rise in the number of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital mucormycosis (CAROM) cases especially in South Asian countries, to an extent that it has been considered an epidemic among the COVID-19 patients in India. As of May 13, 2021, 101 CAROM cases have been reported, of which 82 cases were from India and 19 from the rest of the world. On the other hand, pulmonary mucormycosis associated with COVID-19 has a much lesser reported incidence of only 7% of the total COVID-19-associated mucormycosis cases (Singh AK, Singh R, Joshi SR, Misra A, Diab Metab Syndr: Clin Res Rev, 2021). This case report attempts to familiarize the health care professionals and radiologists with the imaging findings that should alarm for follow-up and treatment in the lines of CAROM. Case presentation Rhino-orbital mucormycosis (ROM) is a manifestation of mucormycosis that is thought to be acquired by inhalation of fungal spores into the paranasal sinuses. Here, we describe a 55-year-old male, post COVID-19 status with long standing diabetes who received steroids and ventilator therapy for the management of the viral infection. Post discharge from the COVID-19 isolation ICU, the patient complained of grayish discharge from the right nostril and was readmitted to the hospital for the nasal discharge. After thorough radiological and pathological investigation, the patient was diagnosed with CAROM and managed. Conclusion Uncontrolled diabetes and imprudent use of steroids are both contributing factors in the increased number of CAROM cases. Our report emphasizes on the radiological aspect of CAROM and reinforces the importance of follow-up imaging in post COVID-19 infection cases with a strong suspicion of opportunistic infections.

We describe a case of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome (UZS) in a healthy 56-year-old woman who underwent femtosecond-assisted phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after an uneventful postoperative course in the left eye, the right eye was operated. Dilated pupil which was nonreactive to light appeared on day 21 postoperatively. This was discovered upon examination following anterior chamber inflammatory reaction which occurred 2 weeks following her surgery. Our case report emphasizes the importance and danger in developing UZS even if the reaction in the anterior chamber does not occur immediately after surgery. In addition, the importance of intraocular pressure follow-up in the period after UZS is acknowledged.
