Abstract

Traumatic simultaneous bilateral hip dislocation is reported rarely, but the most of them are limited in young patients. The authors managed the elderly patients whose both hip was dislocated traumatically, simultaneously and who didn't have any other underlying disease and other associated fracture - femur, hip joint and pelvis, with a review of the relevant literature.

Keywords: Elderly, Traumatic, Bilateral, Posterior Hip Dislocation

Concentric reduction and excluded any intra-articular fragment are shown after manipulation at ER.
