Bilateral Posterior Native Hip Dislocations after Fall from Standing

Author(s): Xiao, Jane; Hamera, Joseph A.; Hutchinson, Christopher H.; Berger, David A. | Abstract: 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 unusual case of an 88-year-old male with native hips who sustained a low-energy collision after falling from standing and was found to have bilateral posterior hip dislocations without associated pelvis or femur fractures.
