A 82-year-old woman presents with a likely dislocation of her hip prosthesis. She has a history of recurrent hip dislocation requiring a second hip revision two years ago. This is the first occasion this hip prosthesis has dislocated; she is distraught. On examination, her left leg is shortened and internally rotated. She is otherwise well save for mild hypertension and osteoarthritis. She has not eaten or drunk today.
