dislocated hip
Femur out of socket
A dislocated hip is a hip joint where the ball of the thighbone has slipped out of its socket in the pelvis.
In adults, this usually results from major trauma like a car accident: She suffered a dislocated hip in the crash.
Infants may be born with or develop the condition, called developmental dysplasia.
Treatment involves repositioning the bone and immobilizing the joint.
