The Captain Morgan technique is a creative and effective way to reduce a hip dislocation, and it can be safely practiced on our Jenny hip simulator. In this method, the provider places one foot on the patient’s thigh—like the Captain Morgan stance—while stabilizing the pelvis and using controlled leverage to guide the femoral head back into the socket. This technique is popular because it requires less strain on the provider and can be done quickly in an emergency setting.
Our models allow learners to rehearse this maneuver in a safe, repeatable way, building confidence without risk to real patients. Interestingly, a version of this technique was also portrayed in the medical drama Pitt, where creative body positioning was used to reduce a hip dislocation under emergency conditions. Practicing on simulators helps bridge the gap between textbook knowledge, clinical improvisation, and real-world application.
