Abstract: The term “hip arthrodiastasis†describes a regime of articulated Iliofemoral distraction, which has been used in order to treat a variety of conditions such as osteoarthritis, chondrolysis and avascular necrosis Perthes’ disease, dislocated hip and avascular necrosis of the femoral head following septic arthritis. There are a few studies reporting the use of iliofemoral distraction and external fixation (arthrodiastasis) to treat acetabular fractures. We present a case report of a dislocated hip associated with comminuted acetabular fracture of the posterior wall treated by arthrodiastasis using a hinged external fixation frame. Key words: arthrodiastasis, dislocation, acetabular fracture, Perthes’ disease.
