- Abstract
We present the case of a 11-year-old White female patient with a traumatic quadratus femoris and obturator internus tear after a sprint while at school. She felt immediate pain, swelling, and point tenderness in her posterosuperior thigh with a severely antalgic gait. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a quadratus femoris tear, obturator internus tear, and ischial spine avulsion fracture. Although a less common etiology for acute hip pain in the pediatric population, traumatic injury to the short external rotators should not be excluded. The prognosis is favorable with a full return to previous activities expected using an appropriate rehabilitation program.
