A hip dislocation occurs when the head of the thighbone

(femur) slips out of its socket in the hip bone (pelvis). In

approximately 90% of patients, the thighbone is pushed
out of its socket in a backwards direction (posterior
dislocation). This leaves the hip in a fixed position, bent
and twisted in toward the middle of the body. The
thighbone can also slip out of its socket in a forward
direction (anterior dislocation). If this occurs, the hip will
be bent only slightly, and the leg will twist out and away
from the middle of the body.

A hip dislocation is very painful. Patients are unable to move

the leg and, if there is nerve damage, may not have any
feeling in the foot or ankle area.

one is one of the hardest materials in the
body, and although relatively light in
weight, it has a remarkable ability to resist
tension and other forces acting on it.
Nature has given us an extremely strong
and exceptionally simple (almost crude)
supporting system without up mobility. The
calcium salts deposited in the matrix bone
its hardness, whereas the organic parts
(especially the collagen fibers) provide for
bone·s flexibility and great tensile strength.
The femur, or thigh bone, is the only bone in the
thigh. It is the heaviest, strongest bone in the
body. Its proximal end has a ball-like head, a
neck, and greater and lesser trochanters
(separrsted anteriorly by the intertrochanteric
line and posteriorly by the intertrochanteric
crest). The trochanters, intertrochanteric crest
and the gluteal tuberosity, located on the
shaft, all serve us sites for muscle attachment.
The head of the femur articulates with
acetabulum of the hip bone in a deep, secure
socket. However, the neck of the femur is a
common fracture site, especially in old age.
The femur slants medially as it runs downward
to joint with the leg bones; this brings the
knees in line which the body·s center of
gravity. The medial course of the femur is
more noticeable in females because of the
wider female pelvis. Distally on the femur
are the lateral and medial condytes, which
articulates the tibia below. Posteriorly, these
condytes are separated by the deep
intercondylar notch. Anteriorly on the distal
femur is the smooth patellar surface, which
forms a joint with the patella, or kneecap.

;
During the degenerative process the cartilage that lines the hip joint,
called hyaline cartilage, is damaged. The damage results from the
abnormal forces on the cartilage from the deformed hip socket.
Small fractures can occur in the cartilage also. Eventually an
enzyme is released that degrades the joint further and decrease the
synthesis of an important joint protectant called proteoglycans. The
cartilage becomes thinner and stiffer, further compromising its ability
to handle the stresses of daily movement and weight bearing.As the
problem progresses more enzymes are released, which now affect
the precursors to proteoglycans, molecules called
glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronate. Lubrication is negligible,
inflammation occurs, and the joint fluid can no longer nourish the
hyaline cartilage. This viscious cycle continues until pain occurs. The
body attempts to reduce this pain by stabilizing the hip joint. New
bone is deposited at the joint, both inside and out, along with some
of the ligaments and muscle attachments to the area. This causes
thickening and a decrease in the range of motion. This is the actual
arthritis noted on a radiograph, which will not go away and will
continue to progress.
V Hypothesis ² factors like physical, mechanical, nutritional, predispose the
normal physical functioning of the host but mechanical factor of agent
lowers the resistance and impairs physical mobility.
V
V Predisposing
o Host
V Male patient is 37y/o, he was born in the Philippines; He is a pure Filipino living
with his wife in Laguna. The pt. has a high level of self-esteem and
confidence. For his nutritional status He stated that he balances his food
intake, when he ate in a fast-food chain he sees to it that later that day he
essentially consume veggies or fruit, while he consumes small amount of
water. When it comes to the customs and tradition, they dominantly follow
the beliefs of Jehovah·s Witness but haven·t been baptized to the religion. To
both sides of his parents, there were no reported health problems. The
patient had a complete immunization and recently had a diarrhea and
fever. During the interview, the pt. felt puzzled and looked depressed when
his wife told him that he would be acquainted with an artificial hip joint to be
applied in his right hip in order for him to resume to his normal life. He had a
fringe benefit provided by the company he was working which pays for the
emergency health situation or accident. After the operation, he was not
able to move a lot and consumption of food intake lessened.
V
o Agent
V The patient undergone surgical operations
specifically close Reduction in the right hip
applying 3kg metal bag. After the operation,
the patient felt no pain and responds to
questions actively.
o Environment
V Assessing the environment, there was a
sufficient lightning in the room and garbage
was segregated and the room temperature
was warm.
 E

A H
V Analysis
Host and agent increases the alteration in normal
functioning that makes them more powerful than the
environment thus causing impaired physical
immobility.

V Conclusion
Precipitating cause is predominantly impaired
physical immobility and greatly influenced by
secondary factors which was the application of 3kg
metal bag in his right leg.

V Recommendation
General health of the patient should be considered
Consume nutritious meals and normal fluid intake
(Healthy and balanced diet)
Minimize to extraneous movement
Maintaining dressing clean, dry and intact until fully
healed.
