title: Central fracture-dislocation of the hip in a child.
abstract: A case report of a 10-year-old child with a central fracture-dislocation of the hip, managed by open reduction is presented, with a long-term result. The rarity of this injury in children is discussed, with the possible complications of inadequate joint congruity and potential growth injury.
