Bilateral Traumatic Hip Dislocation: Simultaneously One Hip Anterior and the Other Posterior-A Case Report

Bilateral traumatic hip dislocation is a very rare condition. While traumatic unilateral hip dislocation has been commonly reported, simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. Early diagnosis and timely reduction of such dislocations under anesthesia are necessary for prevention of complications. A case report of a bilateral asymmetrical hip joint dislocation with an unusual mechanism for this injury in a 45 year-old pedestrian woman is presented here. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first of its kind in a female patient.
