Central acetabular fracture-dislocation secondary to an epileptic seizure in a chronic renal patient

J Trauma. 1981 Jan;21(1):66-7. doi: 10.1097/00005373-198101000-00015.

Abstract

An unusual mechanism of injury for a central acetabular fracture-dislocation is reported in a patient with chronic renal insufficiency. The combination of renal osteodystrophy and an epileptic seizure resulted in such an injury as a complication of renal dialysis. Skeletal traction and a prolonged period of non-weight bearing produced a satisfactory result.
