“…Bilateral posterior hip dislocations are rare; there are more case reports of hip dislocations with one anterior and the other posterior compared to bilateral posterior hip dislocations. 11 –22 The majority were associated with classic high-momentum injuries such as a motor vehicle collision, fall from a great height, or inherent joint instability. Clinically a posterior hip dislocation presents with a foreshortened, adducted and internally rotated leg, most evident when compared to the contralateral leg.…”

We present a case of bilateral posterior native hip dislocations after a fall from standing. This exceedingly rare diagnosis is classically associated with younger patients whose bones are strong enough to dislocate rather than fracture in the setting of a high-momentum collision. We present an unusual case of an 88-year-old male with native hips who sustained a low-energy collision after falling from standing and was found to have bilateral posterior hip dislocations without associated pelvis or femur fractures.

“…Partial weightbearing is difficult to apply to patients with bilateral dislocations. Garg et al [2] used immobilisation with abduction splint. The splint was removed after 2 weeks and weight bearing was allowed when the patient was able to perform active straight leg raising.…”

“…Bilateral posterior dislocations are unusual [2,4]. However literature is replete with case reports and cases series dealing with the aetiology, mechanism, classification, treatment, and prognosis of THD [1][2][3]5,6]. All authors agree that reduction should be performed as soon as possible preferably within 6 hours following the injury to minimise the risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) and osteoarthritis.…”

Traumatic hip dislocation is rare in children, accounting for 2 to 5% of all traumatic dislocations. Bilateral hip dislocations are unusual. There is no consensus on the protocol after reduction. We report the case of a 14-yearold girl sustaining a bilateral posterior hip dislocation after a road traffic accident in a limited resource setting. The concentrically reduction was performed 22 hours after the admission. Post-reduction radiograph showed an intraarticular fragment in the left hip and CT scan prescribed has not been performed. The patient was kept on bilateral skin traction for 3 weeks. At the end of the period of traction, bilateral hip spica cast was applied for 3 weeks. At 4 years 11 months follow-up the hips were pain-free. CT scan showed osteoarthritis secondary to AVN of the femoral head on the right hip.
