Traumatic hip dislocations are serious traumas, the result of high-energy mechanisms, constituting one of the orthopedic emergencies. The epidemiology of asymmetric bilateral hip dislocation is an extremely rare orthopedic condition. Prompt diagnosis and urgent reduction are essential due to the high risk of future complications. The objective of this report is to describe the case of an 81-year-old man, a victim of a car accident who presented with traumatic bilateral asymmetric dislocation of the hip, aiming to increase the limited data on the topic, through discussion of the mechanism, management, follow-up and epidemiology.
