Closed reduction of dislocated hip prosthesis using a traction table

Int J Artif Organs. 2024 Apr;47(4):299-302. doi: 10.1177/03913988241234221. Epub 2024 Mar 22.

Abstract

This article describes three cases in which a dislocated hip prosthesis was reduced by a new reduction technique - that we previously described - using traction table. The dissociation of a prosthesis is a rare but serious complication of closed reduction manoeuvre. The new reduction manoeuvre using a traction table may be a good option to avoid dissociation of the prosthesis during closed reduction for treatment of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.

Keywords: Dislocation; arthroplasty; closed reduction; hip; prosthesis.
