Abstract
This case report aims at presenting a unique case of simultaneous bilateral traumatic dislocation with right side anterior and the left side posterior together with bilateral acetabular fracture. Under general anesthesia, closed reduction of both hips was carried out. The case presented represents an unusual, severe combination of injuries resulting from a high-speed motor-vehicle accident. Traumatic hip dislocation represents a true orthopedic emergency. Given the severity of the associated complications, every effort should be made to ensure prompt diagnosis and immediate therapy.
