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

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. © 2007 Patel and Trehan; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
