Abstract

Bilateral dislocation of the hip was observed in a 44-year-old man after the accident that he was overrun from backward by a slowly approaching goods-train. Successful manual reduction was obtained, followed by one month cast immobilization and partial weight bearing exercise thereafter. Peroneal palsy of right extremity, noted immediately after the dislocation, showed the prospect of good recovery. The mechanism of injury was also discussed.
