title: Bilateral simultaneous iliac dislocation of the hip.
abstract: Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip is an uncommon injury and bilateral anterior dislocation of the hip is still rare. A case is described of hitherto unreported simultaneous bilateral anterior iliac hip dislocation, complicated by fracture of the femoral head on one side. The extreme rarity of this fracture and the peculiar mechanism of injury (the treatment planning and the post reduction protocol) make this case worth reporting. (Hip International 2004; 14: 196-8).
