Abstract:
Authors had analyzed 35 patients of traumatic posterior dislocation of the hip which was treated at Kyungpook National University Hospital during the period of 7 years from 1972 to 1978. 21 of the 35 dislocation of the hip had sustained the injury by automobile accidents. 33 patients were reduced by closed reduction under general anesthesia. Within one week following closed reduction, intra-articular bony fragments were removed in 4 patients and posterior fragments of acetabular fractures were reduced and fixed with screws in 8 patients. 17 of the 35 patients were followed for eight months to 91 months, average 38 months. The results were rated according to criteris of the Stewart and Milford. Satisfactory results were obtained in 11 patients and those of 9 patients were reduced within 12 hours after injury. As the complication, avascular necrosis, myositis ossificans and osteroarthritis were developed in two patients, four patients, and seven patients respectively.
