The Transition to an Anterior-Based Muscle Sparing Approach Improves Early Postoperative Function but is Associated with a Learning Curve

Abstract:
A case of successful treatment of simultaneous anterior and posterior bilateral traumatic dislocation of the hips associated with injuries of iliac and pubic segments of the pelvic ring is reported. The mechanism of this rare injury is thought to have been a simultaneous force from front and rear of the patient while he was seated in an airplane which crashed, with his right hip adducted and his left hip abducted.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
