Abstract

We report a case of a recurrent traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in a young man at the age of 13 and 17. The patient had retroversion of the femoral neck, instead of a physiological anteversion. We found no consensus about the management of a recurrent traumatic dislocation of the hip joint in the literature. The various therapeutic options are discussed. We advised posterior capsulorraphy with femoral rotation osteotomy. The patient refused surgery.
