title: [Bilateral traumatic hip dislocation].
abstract: The bilateral hip displacements are discussed. We divide these injuries in posterior, anterior and in an equal bilateral luxations of the hip. All types are rare (120 cases found in the literature), after all most of them are posterior hip luxations. Immobilisation must be considered for eight weeks, partial weight bearing to week ten, after this period full weight bearing can be allowed. Discharge from the hospital after three months. The danger of arthroses and femoral-neck necroses in this bilateral injury is discussed.
