Abstract
Pure anterior dislocation of the hip in its obturator variety is extremely rare. It typically results from high-energy trauma and can jeopardize the functional prognosis of the hip if reduction is not performed urgently. We report the case of a motorcyclist who sustained an isolated anteroinferior (obturator) hip dislocation. The patient underwent reduction 4 hours after the trauma, with good clinical and radiological outcomes observed at an 18-month follow-up.
