TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Traumatic bilateral posterior dislocation of the hip--an unusual mechanism resulting from an agricultural accident JO - Acta orthopaedica Belgica A1 - Patton, Michael Sean A1 - Banaskiewicz, Paul Anthony A1 - Finlayson, D. SP - 371 EP - 372 VL - 70 IS - 4 N2 - Traumatic bilateral posterior dislocation of the hip is a rare injury, usually sustained in automobile accidents or less commonly in automobile-pedestrian accidents. An unusual mechanism of such an injury is reported in the setting of an agricultural accident: a heavy load fell on the pelvis of a farmer, while he was bending forward. This case highlights the importance of following health and safety guidelines at work, and above all common sense when working in hazardous situations.
