ABSTRACT: Bilateral asymmetric traumatic hip dislocation without an associated fracture of the pelvis or femur occurring in an young adult with no previous history of hip abnormality or ligamentous laxity is a rarity. There were only 58 such cases reported in literature till date. Here is a 28 year old male patient presented to our Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Rangaraya Medical College, Kakinada, Andhrapradesh, India with a history of fall from mango tree with bilateral asymmetric traumatic hip dislocation. The mode if injury is fall from a height. The dislocations were promptly reduced by closed method. Serial follow-up revealed no complications.
