Abstract
Obturator type traumatic anterior hip dislocation in adult is rare of all type hip dislocation. Here we report the case of a 30 year old man brought to the emergency department after motor accident, complaining of left hip pain. The X RAY showed an obturator hip dislocation. Femoral pulse was weaker than the other side and had paresthesia in anteromedial of thigh and could not extend left knee. Dislocation was reduced under general anesthesia. Traction was applied for two weeks. After 1 month he could extend left knee ans sensation was regained in anteromedial of thigh.
