Abstract
Dislocation of the hip in infants, toddlers and adolescents can occur either as an isolated congenital abnormality or associated with a spectrum of other birth defects. Post-traumatic dislocations of the hip in children are very uncommon, and anterior dislocation of the hip joint is even rarer. We report such a case following road traffic accident in a five-year-old child. The patient underwent successful emergent closed reduction of right hip under general anesthesia. The clinical course and follow-up assessment of the patient were otherwise uneventful. At one year follow-up, there was no evidence of growth abnormalities in the head, no secondary arthritis and no signs of avascular necrosis.
