Myoclonus-induced bilateral acetabular fracture dislocations

Abstract

An uncommon case of myoclonus-induced bilateral central acetabular fracture-dislocation is presented. Although different fracture types due to forceful muscular contractions have been reported, this is an exceedingly uncommon injury pattern. Bilateral total hip arthroplasty, in combination with a reinforcement ring and autologous bone grafting, was performed after open reduction and internal fixation.
