PRESENTATION OUTLINE

DISLOCATED HIP JOINT

How does the injury happen

A traumatic hip dislocation occurs when the head of the thighbone (femur) is forced out of its socket in the hip bone (pelvis). It typically takes a major force to dislocate the hip. Car collisions and falls from significant heights are common causes and, as a result, other injuries like broken bones often occur with the dislocation.

Who does it happen to

The injury commonly happens to people who are in car accidents. Because their knees go into the dashboard and the force pop the hip out of place.
