Abstract: Hip Dislocation occurs due to high energy motor vehicle accidents [1] and have been classified into anterior or posterior dislocations with posterior being more common (>90%). Posterior dislocation is associated with sciatic nerve palsy in approximately 10-15% of patients and is also associated with osteonecrosis of the femoral head in 1-22% of cases. The attitude of the limb is flexion, adduction and internal rotation in posterior dislocation and shortened and externally rotated in anterior dislocation. Knee fracture dislocation also results from high energy trauma and may be associated with open wounds, extensive soft tissue injury, compartment syndrome and neurovascular injury. They have been classified based on either the direction of tibial displacement relative to the femur (Kennedy position classification system) or the ligaments disrupted in the process (Schenck anatomic classification system). Here we present a rare case report of patient with ipsilateral hip dislocation with knee fracture dislocation.
