Anterior traumatic dislocations of the hip are much less common than posterior dislocations. To date, 14 cases of open anterior dislocation of the hip associated with such injuries, acetabular and femoral head fractures and femoral vascular and nerve damage have been reported. We present a case of a 23-year-old male who sustained open anterior dislocation of the hip with ipsilateral fracture of the greater trochanter after an accident on the public highway. Additional lesions included an iliac wing fracture and a perineal wound. We report this case because of the rarity and seriousness of this injury due to its progressive complications and difficulties related to its management, which are typical to a developing country like ours.

Double fracture-dislocations of the thumb are rare. Only a single case report of a simultaneous extra- articular fracture of the base of the first metacarpal and dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint has been previously reported. We report the second case report of this injury in a 20-year-old man. The patient had an excellent outcome after treatment.
