    Summary

    A dislocated hip prosthesis after an accident caused a large hematoma. Serial X-rays are crucial for monitoring total hip arthroplasty patients after hip injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Trauma Management
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure for hip joint dysfunction.
    • Hip injuries, especially in patients with THA, require careful evaluation.
    • Acetabular prosthesis migration can occur following significant trauma.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old male with a history of THA sustained a posterior fracture-dislocation of the hip in an auto accident.
    • The injury resulted in the migration of the dislocated acetabular prosthesis.
    • A significant hematoma was present, extending from the hip to the medial thigh.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a rare complication of posterior hip fracture-dislocation with acetabular prosthesis displacement.
    • Imaging revealed the extent of the injury and prosthesis migration.

  • The presence of a large hematoma indicated significant tissue damage.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the necessity of serial roentgenograms in patients with hip arthroplasty, particularly after trauma.
    • Prompt and accurate diagnosis through imaging is vital for managing complex hip injuries.
    • Understanding potential complications is essential for orthopedic surgeons managing THA patients.
