Simultaneous Total Hip Arthroplasty for Delayed Management of Bilateral Acetabular Fractures due to Alcohol-Withdrawal Seizures

Bilateral acetabular fractures after seizure activity are rare, as most of these injuries are associated with high-energy trauma. It is hypothesized that rapid forceful contracture of hip musculature during a seizure can lead to the femoral head fracturing the medial wall and driving in proximal and...
