Abstract

Superior dislocation of hip with rectus bony avulsion is a rare condition which mainly happens due to domestic fall and high velocity trauma of motor vehicle accidents. Rectus femoris avulsion fracture leads to pulling of fragment and it lies close to hip joint. X-ray will usually show the presence of the fragment near the hip joint. Avulsion injury of the rectus femoris usually results due to sudden powerful contraction of the muscles of rectus femoris or sometimes it can be due to sudden knee flexion with traction.
