Description

Based on a case of repeated dislocation of a fracture-dislocation of the hip, despite effective traction in a comatose patient, the authors emphasise the value of computed tomography in the initial assessment of traumatic lesions of the hip. They also stress the value of repeating this examination during the course of the coma

Abstract (French)

A partir d'une observation de reluxation d'une fracture-luxation de hanche, malgre traction efficace, chez un patient dans le coma, les auteurs rappellent l'interet de la tomodensitometrie dans le bilan initial des lesions traumatiques de hanche. Ils evoquent l'utilite de repeter cet examen au cours de l'evolution du coma
