Motor Vehicle Collisions (MVC) can cause high energy hip dislocations associated with serious injury profiles impacting triage. Changes in safety and regulation of restraint devices have likely lowered serious injuries from what was previously reported in the 1990s. This study aims to describe modern-day injury profile of patients with traumatic hip dislocations, with special attention to aortic injury. ⋯ Hip dislocations are high energy injuries with severe associated injuries despite upgrades in restraint devices. These patients require careful examination and heightened awareness when evaluating for concomitant injuries.
