Bilateral Posterior Native Hip Dislocations after Fall from Standing

Bilateral Posterior Native Hip Dislocations after Fall from Standing

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 unus...
