Luxatio Coxae - hip dislocations


description
  • Hip dislocations: Hip dislocations occur when the ball-shaped top part of the thigh bone (femoral head) comes out of its normal position within the hip socket (acetabulum). This can happen due to injury or other factors, causing the hip joint to be out of place.
  • Perthes disease: Perthes disease is a condition that affects children where the blood supply to the top part of the thigh bone (femoral head) is temporarily disrupted. This can cause the bone to become weak and break down, potentially leading to changes in its shape.
