Simultaneous hip and knee dislocations are rare but serious orthopaedic emergencies. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment, including physical therapy, can lead to a functional and pain-free lower extremity.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Hip and knee dislocations are uncommon orthopaedic emergencies with potential long-term complications like avascular necrosis, instability, and stiffness.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis, including arteriography for knee dislocations, is critical for effective management.

Observation:

  • This case report details a patient with simultaneous ipsilateral hip and knee dislocations, a severe injury pattern.
  • The injury required prompt reduction and subsequent knee ligament reconstruction to restore function.

Findings:

  • Aggressive early treatment, encompassing closed or open reduction and extensive physical therapy, was implemented.
  • The patient achieved a functional and painless lower extremity post-treatment.

Implications:
