Surgical Hip Dislocation

This video demonstrates surgical hip dislocation in a 16-year-old girl with femoroacetabular impingement after a periacetabular osteotomy for the management of hip dysplasia. The indications and the contraindications for surgical hip dislocation are discussed. The case presentation is then reviewed, including preoperative imaging studies. The video then explains key surgical considerations in planning such a procedure and proper operating room setup with necessary equipment. Subsequently, a step-by-step technique for surgical hip dislocation, including anterior inferior iliac spine resection and femoral head/neck osteochondroplasty, is demonstrated. Finally, the video concludes by detailing the appropriate postoperative treatment, rehabilitation protocol, and supporting literature for this technique.
