Anterior dislocation of the hip and diastasis of the contralateral sacro-iliac joint—the rear-seat passenger's injury?

Abstract

Abstract A mechanism of injury is described to account for the combination of anterior dislocation of the hip and diastasis of the contralateral sacro-iliac joint occurring in rear-seat car passengers. Two cases are described and discussed in relation to precipitating factors and how the injury may be prevented.
