Dislocations after Hip arthroplasty and its management.

Presenting Author - ATIN KUNDU
Dislocation remains one of the most common and feared complications after total hip arthroplasty, regardless of the surgical approach. While multiple reasons as laxity, implant position, improper implant choice, patient factors and impingement etc. might be leading factors for dislocation, an exact identification of the exact reason is of major importance, to plan for a proper surgical or nonsurgical correction. Elaboration of the definition, etiology, reduction, and possible treatment options for dislocation after primary and revision total hip arthroplasty that are currently used at our centre is the purpose of the paper. Technical points including the approach specifics, safe angle, cup anteversion and furthermore a distinct overview of possible surgical treatment options, based on the main pathology leading to dislocation are to be discussed and guidelines proposed Keywords: Dislocation, Surgical approach, Head size, Closed reduction, Open reduction.
