Luxatio obturatoria may occur in the case of a trauma affecting the hip joint when the latter is in a position of flexion, abduction and external rotation. The femoral head dislocates anteriorly and caudally towards the foramen obturatum. A recent case will be presented with a discussion of the general aspects of this injury, with special emphasis on concomitant injuries and their significance of the long-term prognosis.
