Abstract
Traumatic dislocation of the hip is rare in children. Complications occur in cases with associated injuries and delayed treatment. Treatment options are limited in case of avascular necrosis. We report a case of 6 year old girl who presented with stiffness and deformity of left hip with increased lumbar lordosis and inability to walk due to a post traumatic AVN that happened after a traumatic hip dislocation at the age of 18 months. She successfully underwent head reduction osteotomy, utilizing pre-op 3D-printed models. The procedure was successful in terms of correcting her deformities, relieving pain and her ability to ambulate after 3 years of follow up. This case suggests that femoral head reduction osteotomy, with minimal modifications, can be performed in children as young as 6-years old. 3D-modeling is a great addition to the tools a surgeon can use, in the preoperative planning of difficult osteotomies, as well as education of the residents and fellows.
