title: [Manipulative reduction of shoulder lift for the treatment of posterior dislocation of hip joint].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effects of shoulder lift reduction for treatment of posterior dislocation of hip joint.
  
  
  METHODS
  From July 2001 to June 2010, 14 cases of posterior dislocation of hip joint were treated with shoulder lift reduction involving 12 males and 2 females with an average age of 34.6 years ranging from 18 to 57 years. After recduction, all patients were assisted with the traction, exercise and traditional Chinese medicine. The mean duration between injured and treatment was 1.1 days (2 hours to 3 days). According to Harris scoring system the hip joint function were evaluated.

  All patients were followed-up for 8 to 24 months (means 16 months). Fourteen cases were reset well in first without any complication. The Harris score was (97.14 +/- 4.90) in total, involving hip pain (42.86 +/- 1.88), articular activity (4.71 +/- 0.47), daily activity (45.57 +/- 9.26), deformity (4.00 +/- 0.00), the clinical outcome was excellent in 12 cases,good in 2. There were not complications such as avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and so on.
