title: [Traumatic hip dislocation in the child].
abstract: We report on 20 own cases of the past 20 years. Traumatic hip dislocation in children, which is a rare event, should be primarily reduced under anaesthesia as quickly as possible. An open reduction is only necessary with the luxatio obturatoria if a sole conservative reduction attempt is unsuccessful. A possible ipsilateral femur shaft fracture must be treated operatively at the same time.
