Report of a Case
Alvin J. Ingram M.D.1 and
Thomas C. Turner M.D.1
1 Campbell Clinic, Memphis
The case reported exhibited bilateral posterior dislocation of the hip associated with bilateral frature of the femoral shaft. It is believed to be the only such recorded case. An excellent result was obtained following closed reduction of the dislocated hips and secondary open reduction and medullary nailing of the femoral fractures.
