Abstract:
We preset a rare case of traumatic rupture of the iliacus muscle associated with paralysis of the femoral nerve. It occurred in a healthy 17 year old boy immediately after a fall on his back during the Taekwondo practice. The clinical picture is characterized by pain in the groin, a tender mass in the iliac fossa, flexion contracture of the hip, and a complete paralysis of the ipsilateral femoral nerve. This condition rarely occurs in individuals without bleeding tendency
