title: Recurrent dislocation of the hip with a "Bankart-type" lesion.
abstract: A patient with recurrent dislocation of the hip is described. The initial injury had been a posterior dislocation without associated fracture of the acetabular wall, and the hip had not been immobilised or protected from weight-bearing during treatment. Exploration of the hip for recurrence revealed disruption of the posterosuperior acetabular labrum with formation of a pouch between the posterior acetabular wall and the short rotator muscles. We have found no previous report of this lesion, which resembles a Bankart lesion of the shoulder. Repair using a bone block is described.
