AB Hip  dislocations  are  often  associated  with  fractures  of  the  acetabulum,  ipsilateral  femur,  or  knee,  and  can  be  anterior,  posterior,  or  inferior.  Ninety  percent  are  posterior,  resulting  from  significant  forces  exerted  on  a  flexed  hip  and  knee  (eg,  a  passenger  in  a  motor  vehicle  collision  whose  knees  hit  the  dashboard).  Anterior  hip  dislocations  occur  when  there  is  forced  external  rotation  of  the  extended  hip,  which  forces  the  head  out  of  the  acetabulum,  either  by  tearing  the  anterior  capsule  or  by  fracturing  the  anterior  wall  of  the  acetabulum.
