My son was in a car accident and one of his injuries was the exact diagnosis I’ve heard for Tua. Hip dislocation with posterior fracture. Essentially, the femur was driven out of the socket, breaking off a piece of the socket as the ball slipped out.
They didn’t reduce my son’s hip until he had some morphine on board at the hospital. The broken piece of the socket went right back in place for my son, so Tua’s may be more severe. Has anyone heard for a fact if the artery was involved?

No, but this doctor said a lot depended on how bad the fracture is. Is it just a crack or two, or is it badly fractured with multiple cracks and splinters of bone...that will determine a lot.

Artery of the ligamentum teres is always torn on hip dislocation. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is only avoided if the collateral supply is adequate to keep it alive. Otherwise you end up like Bo.
