Abstract
Acetabular fracture-dislocations usually occur as a result of high vel ocity trauma, Such fractures following electroconvulsive therapy are e xtremely rare, In this report, two similar cases of acetabular fractur es and central fracture-dislocations following ECT are presented, This rare complication could be eliminated easily by using short-acting an aesthetic agents and muscle relaxants.
