title: Recurrent traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child: significance of early hip arthrography.
abstract: The authors describe a case of a recurrent posterior traumatic dislocation of the hip in a child in whom early arthrography demonstrated a large defect of the posterior capsule. The authors emphasize the necessity of prolonged immobilization and long-term follow-up. The operation of the patient was performed on the 7th day after the third recurrence of the dislocation. Revision and suture of the capsular defect from Gibson's approach were done.
