Case:
We present a case of traumatic anterior obturator hip dislocation in a pediatric patient with a focus on acute management of this injury. The orthopaedic team successfully performed closed reduction of this injury on an emergent basis, and the patient had minimal issues with ambulation and pain at subsequent follow-up.
Conclusion:
Pediatric traumatic hip dislocations are rare injuries with potentially devastating sequelae, particularly if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Proper technique during closed reduction is essential. Be prepared for potential emergent open reduction. Two years of postinjury follow-up is recommended to monitor for signs of femoral head osteonecrosis.
