Myoclonus-Induced Bilateral Acetabular Fracture Dislocations
Balcarek, Peter; Dresing, Klaus; Walde, Tim Alexander; Tezval, Mohammad; Stürmer, Klaus MHip
An uncommon case of myoclonus-induced bilateral central acetabular fracture-dislocation is presented. Although different fracture types due to forceful muscular contractions have been reported, this is an exceedingly uncommon injury pattern. Bilateral total hip arthroplasty, in combination with a reinforcement ring and autologous bone grafting, was performed after open reduction and internal fixation.
