Acquired

Acquired hip dislocation is normally associated with high-speed trauma, with motor vehicle collisions account half of the dislocation with other causes such as falls and sports injuries, less common .

Hip dislocation is the second most common complication of hip joint replacements and occurs in ~5% (range 0.5-10%) of patients with ~60% of dislocations being recurrent .
