Abstract

Anterior dislocations of the hip are much less common than posterior dislocations and have been reported that it occurs in only 10–11% of all hip dislocations. Bilateral simultaneous traumatic anterior dislocation of both hip joints is even more unusual. Only few cases have been previously described in the English literature.
