Hip Dislocation: Manipulation and Reduction

Closed reduction of a dislocated hip restores joint alignment and prevents cartilage damage and avascular necrosis.

MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,100 – 2,100
• Anaesthetist fee: Not available

Coverage is usually available for:
• Emergency orthopaedic reduction
• Day-care or inpatient management

Ensure this is coded as acute traumatic dislocation.

Prompt reduction protects the hip. Insurance responsiveness matters.
