Introduction: Traumatic hip dislocation associated with femur fracture is a rare and complex injury that occurs in the context of multiple trauma. Public road accidents represent more than 64% of the circumstances (automobiles 46% and two-wheelers 18%). Objective: Report a rare case of injury association and the speed of treatment (less than 6 hours). Clinical case: 26-year-old patient, victim of a road traffic accident. Admitted to the emergency room one hour after the trauma in a context of severe pain and absolute functional impotence of both pelvic limbs. Clinical examination reveals closed trauma to both pelvic limbs, with deformation of the right thigh, a vicious attitude of the contralateral lower limb in adduction, shortening and medial rotation. Conclusion: This is a rare injury association, which benefited from treatment within less than 6 hours.
