Acute isolated acetabular fracture following a game of squash: a case report

Authors: Neil D Patel, Ravi K Trehan

Published in: Journal of Medical Case Reports | Issue 1/2007

Abstract

Although hip injuries do not account a large amount of the Sports Physician's workload they can result in significant morbidity. We present a case where an acetabular fracture was sustained in a relatively young female while playing squash without any history of fall or injury but was treated successfully non-operatively. Such patients who present with acute hip pain must not be dismissed as simply having a soft tissue injury.
