  • Title: Bilateral traumatic hip dislocation.
    Author: Kuhn DA, Frymoyer JW.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1987 Apr; 27(4):442-4. PubMed ID: 3573095.
    Abstract:
    An unusual bilateral hip dislocation in a 19-year-old female is presented, with a left Type III posterior fracture-dislocation (Thompson and Epstein) and a right Type V posterior dislocation (Thompson and Epstein's classification as modified by Pipkin's criteria). Open treatment with screw fixation, and removal of a fragment of the right femoral head that had been sheared off, avoided a long period of immobilization in this young woman.
