Bilateral asymmetric traumatic hip dislocation in adolescence:a report of two cases and review of the literature

摘要

Traumatic bilateral asymmetric hip dislocation is an extremely uncommon injury and rarely seen in children. We report two such cases in adolescent females injured in separate accidents. One of these patients also suffered a left femoral shaft fracture, ipsilateral labral avulsion and contra-lateral acetabular fracture. We report our experience in the management of this complex injury pattern and review the pertinent literature on the subject.
