Abstract
Simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral hip and knee dislocations is a rare but morbid injury. These are complex injuries associated with acetabular wall fractures, femoral head fractures, avascular necrosis of femoral head, knee instability and knee stiffness. Early recognition and emergent reduction are the norms to prevent long term sequelae. We report a case who presented to us with an ipsilateral posterior hip and open posterior knee dislocation with concomitant systemic injuries sustained by a unique mode of machinery injury.
