How Did They Reduce Tua’s Hip Dislocation At The Stadium?

Espn had a doctor on last night that said Tua had a dislocation of the ball socket hip joint and a fractured hip. She also said the key to preventing necrosis (Bo Jackson hip injury) is to reduce the dislocation asap and that reduction was achieved at the stadium. Alabama doctor said this as well.
How do you reduce the hip dislocation? Try to push it back in joint? I would think surgery would be necessary to put a ball joint back in the hip bone because it fits really tight.
Any medical people out there can expound?

They likely reset it like you do a dislocated shoulder. That takes the strain off the nerves and soft tissues.

Mississippi has the best doctors and showed Bama how it's done.
I kid I was kinda curious myself.

Light sedation and physically manipulate the hip and reduce the dislocation. If he had a posterior wall fx I imagine the reduction would have been pretty easy to achieve

A ball joint in a human isn’t like a tie rod on your car. An automotive ball joint is a press fit joint. In the human body the socket is a pocket the ball joint can slip in and out of. All that holds the joint together are tendons and muscles. To reduce a hip you have someone pull traction on the leg while someone puts pressure on the trochanter you realign the joint, traction on leg is released and the ball joint goes back.

Hopefully though a passive range of motion that hurt like hell, until sliding back in and immediately felling so much better.
(guessing - like other guy said - like how you do a shoulder)

I suppose that is when Tua’s screams were heard down the tunnel.
Hate it for that guy.

Just reading that makes me queasy. I can’t wrap my head around this happening to him. What a nightmare.

MaronNation, good description of how the hip ball is reset in it's socket. I'm sure anti-inflammatory meds and ice were administered quickly as well. Strain, pressure and inflammation are extremely damaging. sometimes when a person's neck is broken quickly packing ice around the injured area can prevent paralysis.

I had a friend who had her hip dislocated in car accident. She also had natural childbirth.
She said reducing dislocation of her hip, even though the pain didn't last as long, was more intense than childbirth.
Lord help me!

This guy definitely stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Was hit head on by a drunk driver many years ago. His hip was dislocated in the crash. I was being treated at the ER and heard someone wailing and wailing. I asked the doctor wth. He said they’re working on the hip of the guy who hit you. With an evil grin he added that they just couldn’t give him any meds because he had so many chemicals in his system. I’m not a very vengeful person but I didn’t lose much sleep. Especially because he left me with a pretty substantial lifelong, progressive injury.
All of which is to say, unfortunately he was probably in a tremendous amount of pain even with medication, and I hate that he had to go through it.

A lot of people said they could hear Tua’s screams reverberating down the tunnel after they took him into a room.
Awful. Freaked some people out.

Well, better, but not quite immediately.

If childbirth was worse than dislocating your hip, I suspect that you would see a lot less people with 3+ children

You sound as if you have attained some real wisdom and compassion in your life.

I was present twice when knees were dislocated. The first time a lifeguard slipped on a diving board and hit his kneecap, it was worse because the impact also badly cracked the knee. The second was in a rec-league basketball game, his cap was twisted all the way to the side. A doctor reset it on the court and the guy was obviously in terrible pain.
