Hip dislocation represents 2 to 5% of all joint dislocations. Bilaterat dislocation of the hip joints is reported about 1.25% of all cases fo hip dislocations and therefore 0.025 to 0.050% of all joint dislocations. Dislocations in which one hip dislocates anteriorly and the other posteriorly are even rarer. Of all traumatic bilateral hip dislocations, bilateral simultaneous anterior and posterior dislocations in 40% of cases. This paper is a case report of a traumatic bilateral anterior and posterior dislocation of hips in a 24 year-old man injured by motor vehicle accident as a passenger.
