Anyone can reduce a hip dislocation.
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rate of dislocation of primary hip replacements ranges from 0.2% to 10% per year, while that of artificial hip joints that have already been surgically revised can be as high as 28%, depending on the patient population, the follow-up interval, and the type of prosthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Reduction should be attempted as soon as possible after the diagnosis is made. A neurovascular deficit warrants immediate reduction. Open dislocations require surgery, but closed reduction techniques should be used as interim treatment if an orthopedic surgeon is unavailable and a neurovascular deficit is present.
