Public road accidents represent more than 64% of the circumstances (automobiles 46% and two-wheelers 18%).

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.
