Résumé

Traumatic obturator hip dislocation is a rare form of anterior dislocation, usually secondary to high-energy trauma. It constitutes an orthopaedic emergency requiring early reduction within six hours to limit the risk of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. We report two clinical cases in young patients who suffered sports-related trauma. Treatment consisted of emergency closed reduction, followed by functional treatment with weight-bearing restriction. The prognosis is generally favourable after early reduction, but prolonged clinical and radiological follow-up is necessary to detect any complications, particularly avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
