title: Traumatic hip dislocation in a 21-month-old child.
abstract: Traumatic hip dislocation in the paediatric population is a relatively rare occurrence and constitutes an orthopaedic emergency. A trivial force is all that is required and non-accidental injury should not be necessarily suspected. A case report involving a hip dislocation in a 21-month-old child, the youngest in the recent English literature is detailed.
