title: Asymmetrical bilateral traumatic hip dislocation with ipsilateral acetabular fracture.
abstract: We report a case of simultaneous asymmetrical bilateral traumatic hip dislocation, with one hip dislocated anteriorly and the other posteriorly, with ipsilateral acetabular fracture, suffered in a traffic accident by a 36-year-old man. Closed reduction of both hips was performed, followed by delayed internal fixation of the acetabular fracture.
