About this document
Rochester Method for Hip Reduction by Mahmoud Abu Al Amrain is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the Rochester method for closed reduction of a posterior hip dislocation. The method involves placing the patient supine with one knee flexed as a pivot. The surgeon places one hand under the injured knee and over the unflexed knee to flex both hips. The other hand grabs the injured ankle to apply traction while controlling hip rotation. Reduction is achieved through traction, internal rotation to clear the femoral head from the acetabular rim, followed by external rotation.
