Traumatic dislocations of the hip are high-energy injuries that frequently occur with fractures of the femoral head. Controversy exists regarding many aspects of the treatment of these fractures, but following reduction, large displaced head fragments require open reduction and internal fixation. Traditionally, an anterior approach to the hip joint has been used for surgical access to the femoral head, but this incision often results in limited visualization and subsequent difficulty with anatomic reduction. Recently, a surgical hip dislocation technique has been described for acetabular fractures and deformities of the proximal femur. At our institution, this technique has been used for femoral head fractures resulting in superior visualization and fracture stabilization. This article details the technique and its application.
