They are usually treated with methods used in commonly occurring dislocations. The aim of this study is to detail a two-stage strategy for neglected hip dislocations in adults applied in a complicated case. (2) Case presentation: We present a complicated case of neglected hip dislocation in a patient with an associated neurological condition. Two-stage open reduction was performed combined with arthrodiastasis and Ilizarov external fixators. After complications requiring a third intervention, the joint was stabilized, and the patient has presented no more episodes to date. (3) Conclusions: Arthrodiastasis has been used to treat these conditions. Comparing it with the other methods described in the literature, it seems to be a good therapeutic strategy, especially in elderly patients. Because of the limited number of studies, we cannot establish the most efficient therapeutic method, but we believe that the described strategy can be useful for patients with this condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geriatrics8060117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]],"date-time":"2023-12-01T04:12:56Z","timestamp":1701403976000},"page":"117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Neglected Dislocation in Adults: A New Therapeutic Strategy for an Uncommon Condition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Juan Carlos","family":"Garc\u00eda de la Blanca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Cuarental Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3516-5043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gonzalo","family":"Luengo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael","family":"Mart\u00ed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Rafael","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopedic Surgery Department, Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre, 28041 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1155","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rcl.2010.07.003","article-title":"Hip injuries in athletes","volume":"48","author":"Blankenbaker","year":"2010","journal-title":"Radiol.
