  ABSTRACT: This study examined neglected hip fracture-dislocations in developing countries, focusing on five cases in Dakar. The research adopted a prospective method, assessing epidemiological, clinical, radiological, and therapeutic aspects, utilizing the Postel Merle d’Aubigné scoring system for functional assessment. Results demonstrated that total joint replacement surgery, predominantly following traffic accidents, significantly improved mobility and reduced limb length disparity, with most patients achieving independent walking post-operation. The study concludes that early diagnosis and total hip arthroplasty are critical for optimal outcomes.
