Summary

Delayed diagnosis of hip injuries in children and adolescents is common. Prompt imaging and surgical removal of interposed tissues are crucial for successful hip reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Pediatric traumatology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Hip injuries in pediatric patients can be challenging to diagnose.
  • Incongruous hip reduction may result from low-energy trauma.
  • Missed diagnoses can lead to long-term complications.

Observation:

  • Three cases of missed hip incongruous reduction in children and adolescents are presented.
  • Patients presented with hip pain after injury, with two having a history of transient hip subluxation or dislocation.
  • Initial diagnosis was missed in all reported cases.

Findings:

  • Low-energy trauma was identified as the cause in two cases.
  • Treatment involved arthrotomy to remove interposed capsular and labral tissue for concentric reduction.

  • Spontaneous reduction of hip dislocation can lead to misjudgment of the condition.

    • Implications:

    • Radiographs in children with hip pain post-injury require scrutiny for asymmetric joint widening.
    • Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should evaluate any observed asymmetry.
    • Surgical removal of interposed tissue is recommended for optimal outcomes, even with delayed diagnosis.
