Abstract

Bilateral hip dislocation is a rare injury and asymmetrical hip dislocations are even very rare entities. We are reporting two cases of bilateral asymmetrical hip dislocations with associated acetabulum fractures. Mechanism of injury in first case was fall from height and in other case road traffic accident. Associated injuries were midshaft femur fracture and sciatic nerve (Peroneal part). Anterior hip dislocation in both cases is reduced closely but posterior hip dislocation in both cases relocated openly due to ipsilateral femur fracture in first case and unstable hip in second case. Acetabulum fractures fixed with reconstruction plate. Postoperative recovery of patient was uneventful except sciatic nerve injury (Peroneal part) lead to foot drop that is supported with ankle foot arthrosis.

Keywords: Acetabulum fracture; Asymmetrical; Bilateral hip dislocation; Foot drop.
