Abstrakt: Due to the high probability of infection and avascular necrosis, traumatic open anterior hip dislocation poses a serious orthopedic emergency. Despite the emergency of the issue, it appears to be an under-researched topic in the literature. In this study, we present open anterior hip dislocation with both trochanteric fractures in a child and review other pediatric cases from the literature. Because of rareness, there is no standard surgical and postoperative treatment algorithm. We discussed the mechanism of injury, wound size, time of the reduction, associated injury, type of treatment, type of immobilization, clinical and functional results to present a collective perspective on the literature. Once we have compared all of these situations, dealing with infection is key to satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes. The early reduction was the most important point in both coping with infection and preserving avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
