Central acetabular fracture-dislocation following electroconvulsive therapy: report of two similar cases.
Acetabular fracture-dislocations usually occur as a result of high velocity trauma. Such fractures following electroconvulsive therapy are extremely rare. In this report, two similar cases of acetabular fractures and central fracture-dislocations following ECT are presented. This rare complication could be eliminated easily by using short-acting anaesthetic agents and muscle relaxants.
