Abstract:
The Allis maneuver is the most commonly used method for reducing posterior hip dislocation. The authors experienced an iatrogenic proximal tibiofibular fracture in a 91-year-old male who underwent total hip arthroplasty while reducing posterior hip dislocation with the Allis maneuver. The hip was safely reduced under spinal anesthesia with a fracture table. Open reduction and internal fixation with a locking plate were done for the proximal tibia fracture.
