Soccer is the worlds most popular sport, with over 200 million participants world wide. Fractures account for only 49% of acute injuries, and hip fracture-dislocation is extremely uncommon. However, the potentially serious long term sequelae of this injury means that team doctors should be alert to it. Two cases are here reported of traumatic hip fracture-dislocation in recreational soccer players sustained by low energy mechanisms. Prompt reduction and fixation are important to produce a stable and congruent joint.
