Emergency procedure to restore normal hip joint anatomy and function.Relieves severe pain and prevents further damage to nerves and blood vessels.Critical for preventing long-term complications like avascular necrosis (bone death) and arthritis.Often performed non-surgically (closed reduction), minimizing initial surgical trauma.Helps preserve future mobility and joint health when performed promptly and correctly.

- Dislocation following a total hip replacement (prosthetic dislocation).
- Congenital hip dysplasia in infants, requiring specialized reduction procedures.
- Pathological dislocation due to severe infection, neuromuscular disease, or tumors weakening the joint.

How to prepare
- Immediate medical assessment in an emergency setting with vital sign monitoring.
- Detailed physical and neurological exam to assess nerve and blood vessel function.
- Imaging studies, primarily X-rays and often a CT scan, to confirm dislocation and check for fractures.

- Informed consent process explaining the urgent need for reduction and potential risks.
Risks & possible complications
- Avascular necrosis: Permanent bone death due to disrupted blood supply to the femoral head.
- Post-traumatic arthritis: Accelerated wear and tear of the joint cartilage leading to chronic pain.
- Nerve injury (especially sciatic nerve), potentially causing numbness, weakness, or foot drop.
- Recurrent dislocation or joint instability.
- Damage to blood vessels, infection, or blood clot formation (deep vein thrombosis).
- Heterotopic ossification: Abnormal bone growth in the soft tissues around the hip.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial immobilization with a brace or traction to allow soft tissues to heal.
- Strict non-weight-bearing on the affected leg for several weeks, using crutches or a walker.
- Gradual, supervised physical therapy to restore range of motion, strength, and gait.
- Pain management with prescribed medications and use of ice packs to reduce swelling.
- Follow-up X-rays to monitor hip position and bone healing, especially if fractures were present.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
