Thompson & Epstein reviewed 204 traumatic hip dislocations over 21 years, proposing a five-type classification of posterior dislocations and analyzing how injury pattern, reduction method, timing of weight-bearing, and associated injuries each relate to long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes.
Focus your energy on prompt recognition and reduction rather than overthinking weight-bearing restrictions. The injury pattern you're dealing with matters more than your post-reduction protocol.
