AbstractLuxatio erecta of the hip is an exceptional injury. This is the report of one such case in a 10-year-old boy, and a review of 7 other cases collected from the literature. Luxatio erecta seems to result of an injury forcing the hip in extreme flexion together with further trauma displacing the femur in caudal direction. The femoral head is dislocated below the acetabulum. Reduction is to be achieved by cephalad traction, though internal rotation may have to be added in certain cases. Post-reduction treatment, as well as the incidence of complications, are not different from those concerning the other topographic varieties of traumatic hip dislocation.
