AbstractApproximately 3% of all joint dislocations involve the hip joint, and only 8-10% of these will be anterior. Traumatic anterior open dislocation of the hip is rare in children and prone to be associated with injuries, extensive soft tissue damage, and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We present a case of a 13-year-old boy who had an open anterior dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral avulsion of the greater trochanter after a tractor wheel crush in an agricultural accident. Additional lesions included a diaphyseal closed fracture of the contralateral femur. We report this case because of the rarity and seriousness of this injury due to its progressive complications and difficulties related to its management.Copyright © 2019 French Society of Pediatrics.
