Surgical Dislocations

Surgical hip dislocation is a technique used to address hip impingement or other conditions leading to hip pain. During surgical dislocation of the hip, the femur’s head is repositioned from its normal location within the pelvic socket.

This surgical approach offers two primary advantages. Firstly, it provides the medical professional with a comprehensive view of the hip joint, facilitating thorough diagnostics and range-of-motion testing. Secondly, unlike procedures requiring detachment of muscles or blood vessels from the femur, surgical hip dislocation preserves vital blood supply to the bone.

In this procedure, the portion of the femur linked to essential blood vessels is carefully cut and retracted, ensuring continuous blood flow during the procedure. Once the underlying issue contributing to hip pain is corrected, this femoral section is securely repositioned and stabilised with screws. This thorough approach ensures optimal outcomes while minimising the risk of complications.

Surgical hip dislocations serve as valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tools, allowing medical professionals to precisely identify and address the root cause of hip pain.
