Abstract
In the current study, the incidence, presentation, and treatment of traumatic dislocation of the hip in children will be discussed. The complications and the possible pathologic changes behind the development of avascular necrosis are described. Most children have a good outcome after this injury, perhaps because a concomitant fracture is unusual. The results in children are significantly better than results in adults.
