Hip Dislocation Treatment in Turkey
About Hip Dislocation
Key Highlights
-
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.
Who is this surgery for?
- Traumatic dislocation from high-impact events like motor vehicle accidents or falls.
- 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.
- Recurrent dislocations due to ligamentous laxity or structural abnormalities.
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.
- Administration of pain relief and sedation or preparation for general anesthesia.
- 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.
- Long-term activity modifications and ongoing monitoring for signs of late complications like arthritis.
-
Typical hospital stay:
3-7 days

Ananya Jones, a 28-year-old elementary school...
Ananya Jones, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher and avid weekend hiker, was playing a lively game of tag with her students on the playground when she slipped on a wet patch, landing hard on her side. She felt a sickening pop and immediate, excruciating pain in her left hip, unable to move her leg. Rushed to the ER, X-rays confirmed a posterior hip dislocation without fracture. The orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained the urgency to reduce the dislocation to restore blood flow and prevent permanent damage to the femoral head. In the emergency room, under conscious sedation, Dr. Chen performed a closed reduction, maneuaging the femoral head back into the socket with a firm, controlled pull. The audible 'clunk' was followed by instant relief from the severe pain. Post-procedure, Ananya spent a night in the hospital for observation and was discharged on crutches with strict instructions for 6 weeks of limited weight-bearing and physical therapy. Her recovery was smooth, and after three months of diligent rehab, she regained full strength and range of motion. Emotionally, she was terrified by the sudden loss of control and the intense pain, fearing she might never hike or keep up with her students again. After the successful reduction and steady recovery, she felt profound gratitude and a renewed sense of resilience, though she remains more cautious on uneven surfaces.
