  • Traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip is an uncommon injury, accounting for less than 10% of all reported cases of traumatic hip dislocation. Especially, there are no known report in our country so far. We are reporting a case of a 81 year old man who sustained bilateral anterior hip dislocation after pedestrian traffic accident, and treated by closed reduction and skeletal traction at our institute.
