- Abstract
The presence of anterior dislocation of the hip along with contralateral posterior dislocation of the hip in the absence of other major trauma is a distinctly rare injury pattern. We report such a case resulting from a motor vehicle striking a pedestrian, along with a review of previous cases. The patient was managed nonoperatively within 6 hours of trauma with an excellent final outcome and no posttraumatic complications over a 3-year follow-up. The possible mechanism of this injury is discussed.
