Bilateral Asymmetrical Traumatic Hip Dislocation in an Adult

Bilateral hip dislocation occurring as a result of trauma is a rare condition. Simultaneous anterior andposterior traumatic dislocation of both hips is even more unusual. A case is reported of bilateral asymmetricaltraumatic hip dislocation in previously normal hips in a 20 year old adult male without an associatedfracture of the pelvis or femur. An unusual mechanism for this injury is also described.
