Abstract
Recurrent dislocation of the hip is rare and has not previously been reported in adult paraplegics. This paper describes 3 cases. In one patient it was spontaneous, occurring 16 years after the original injury and was associated with a flexion-adduction contracture of the hip and a shallow acetabulum. One case occurred after minor trauma in a patient who experienced flexion-adduction spasms of the hip. In the third patient the condition was secondary to posterior acetabular deficiency following a conservatively treated fracture dislocation. All 3 patients experienced symptoms of disabling autonomic dysreflexia during the episodes of dislocation. The importance of recognising and adequately treating hip injuries in patients presenting with paraplegia secondary to spinal cord injury is stressed. In patients with spastic paraplegia presenting with recurrent dislocation of the hip, operative treatment combining a soft tissue repair and a bone block to augment the acetabulum is recommended.

“Total hip arthroplasty in patients with bone deficiency of the acetabulum. ... The causes of primary THR revision include aseptic loosening or particle disease, infection, recurrent dislocation, implant failure, periprosthetic fracture, and leg length discrepancy.“

A chiropractor would check to see if one leg is longer than the other while you lie on his couch, but once we have SCI, most chiropractors would be “gun-shy” of touching us at all.

Definition of gun-shy
1 : afraid of loud noise (such as that of a gun)
2 : markedly distrustful, afraid, or cautious
