Closed reduction of dislocated hip prosthesis using a traction table.

Closed reduction of dislocated hip prosthesis using a traction table.

This article describes three cases in which a dislocated hip prosthesis was reduced by a new reduction technique – that we previously described – using traction table. The dissociation of a prosthesis is a rare but serious complication of closed reduction manoeuvre. The new reduction manoeuvre using a traction table may be a good option to avoid dissociation of the prosthesis during closed reduction for treatment of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty.
