Description
Summary:CaseAn obturator hip dislocation with an associated open book pelvic ring injury is an extremely rare injury pattern. This case report will discuss challenges to closed reduction, acute management strategies and review the literature on combined hip dislocations and open book pelvic ring injuries. ConclusionThis injury pattern presents unique reduction challenges that should be recognized early in order to provide effective resuscitation and preserve the femoral head blood supply. Failing to close reduce the hip delays reducing the pelvic ring volume because sheets and binders are precluded from working effectively.
