PURPOSE: Traumatic hip dislocation is an emergency. We studied their epidemiological, and therapeutic characteristics at Cotonou. METHODS: This was a retrospective study from 2006 to 2014 including all inpatient for traumatic hip dislocation, whose minimum follow-up was 12 months. RESULTS: Twenty-three cases in which 19 males were selected. The mean age was 39.6 years. It was mainly fracture-dislocations (17 cases). Sixteen dislocations were posterior. Reduction average delay was 41.0 h. The treatment was mainly orthopedic (16 cases). Few complications were noted: two osteoarthritis, one death. The functional results were excellent (8 cases), very good (4 cases) and good (8 cases). CONCLUSION: Traumatic hip dislocations require early reduction to avoid complications.
