Bilateral Traumatic Hip Dislocation in a Child: A Case Report

Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2007, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Traumatic hip dislocation in children is uncommon; when this condition is diagnosed in paediatric patients, it is most frequently seen as a unilateral posterior dislocation and is rarely associated with fracture. We report here a case involving a young girl who dislocated both hips in two separate incidents.
