Abstract

Anterior hip dislocations are uncommon, but are associated with the risk of occlusion of major vessels of the limb. We report a case of traumatic anterior hip dislocation who had an on-table cardiac arrest following reduction of hip. It was due to pulmonary embolism, and delayed presentation increased the risk for the same. It was an unanticipated event for us and we wish for all the providers to be aware of this occurrence.
 

Keywords: Anterior hip dislocation, Pulmonary embolism.
