【 摘 要 】

Introduction: traumatic hip dislocation in a pediatric patient is a rare injury. There is no consensus on the optimal management in its emergency and follow-up.Case report: the case of a 4 year-old boy who suffered a traumatic dislocation of the right hip while skiing is reported. He received conservative treatment consisting of closed reduction and with no further immobilization. A review of the literature on this traumatic injury, treatment and follow-up was performed. The differential characteristics of the above entity in the adult population are mentioned. Results: in the present case, the results were very satisfactory, since the patient had complete functional recovery with same level of life that he had before the dislocation.Conclusion: traumatic hip dislocation in pediatric population is rare. However, given the importance of its reduction as soon as possible in order to avoid further complications such as avascular osteonecrosis, diagnosis and treatment is necessary as early as possible. There is no consensus, however, as to the optimal treatment and monitoring of the condition after an acute episode is solved.
