title: Obturator dislocation of total hip arthroplasty--a case report.
abstract: This study consists of a single case report of a patient who had an irreducible obturator dislocation of a total hip arthroplasty after a motor vehicle accident, not previously described in the English literature. In particular, the focus will be on offering an educated opinion on the risk factors for dislocation and difficulties encountered with this type of dislocation. The aim is to offer valuable insight based on the operative experience with this patient and to supplement the literature with the management of such a complication following total hip arthroplasty.
