Popis: The authors describe a case report of a 5-year-old foreign girl with a rare bilateral hip dislocation after a car accident. Young surgeons at the emergency department performed an unsuccessful closed reduction. Since the clinical and ultrasound screening of DDH of all newborns in the Slovak Republic is carried out until the age of 4-6 weeks, the treatment of dislocated hips starts early and the late diagnosed dislocations occur rarely. The aim of the study is to point at differences in DDH screening all over Europe resulting in an increased risk of misdiagnosed patients. Key words:hip dislocation, childhood, trauma, DDH, screening.
