Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Luxation of the hip is a dislocation of the hip. Which means that the head of the femur comes out of the acetabulum. Most of the times this causes damage at the tissues around the hip.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The hip anatomy exist of the acetabulum and the caput femoris. The acetabulum has the shape of a cup and the caput femoris has the shape of a ball. These caput femoris placed in the acetabulum creates the hip joint which is an ball-and-socket or articulatio spheroidea. So The femoral head has to ‘roll’ in the acetabulum. 6
The hip is a bearing ball joint with as main function support. The stability of the hip joint is provided mainly by the capsule and by the muscles and ligaments who are located there. They stabilize the femoral head in the acetabulum and ensure that the hip joint can make all the necessary movements.
