Bilateral traumatic anterior hip dislocation--a case report.
We report a 33-year-old trader with bilateral traumatic anterior hip dislocation following a road traffic accident. Both hip dislocations were reduced under general anesthesia followed by immobilization of the hips with skin traction. He discharged himself against medical advice one week after injury.
