[Post-traumatic protrusion of the hip joint].
23 patients with post-traumatic protrusion of the hip joint--due to fracture of the base of the acetabulum--have been re-examined by the authors. On the basis of the radiomorphological alterations developed in consequence of the fracture and according to the severity of the articular deformation the cases have been classified into four categories. The relationship between the morphological alteration, the functional ability of the joint and the subsequent arthrosis--as well as the problems of the social rehabilitation are discussed.
