TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Bilateral posterior native hip dislocations after fall from standing JO - Clinical practice and cases in emergency medicine A1 - Xiao, Jane A1 - Hamera, Joseph A.

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.
