Hip replacement dislocation: Extra Stability Test
A hip replacement dislocation is a rare complication, occurs when the ball of the prosthetic joint comes out of the socket. Dislocation is common within the first three months after surgery, but can also happen later due to falls, trauma, or failing to follow post-operative precautions. To significantly reduce the risk of hip replacement dislocation, it is very important to perform forced stability tests at the end of the surgical procedure to test for extreme and sudden movements.
Test 1: maximum hip flexion
Test 2: foeced external rotatio at 30° of hip extension
Test 3: internal rotation in 90° of hip flexion
