We report a case of a 28-year-old male who sustained an indirect injury of his left hip while playing soccer, which resulted in a posterior fracture-dislocation. Radiological examination showed signs of combined femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We discuss the role of FAI as a risk factor for hip dislocation in low energy sport injuries.

HighlightsA novel surgical technique for reconstructing pelvic defects in hip revision surgery is described.The Stoppa approach allows for pelvic damage control and reconstruction of bone defect.The bone reconstruction is made by combining an intrapelvic plating with augmented socket reconstruction.

Extrarticular causes of impingement have a current, interesting role in the complaint of groin pain in athletes. Subspine impingement is related to a prominent anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and is actually described as a frequent cause of groin pain. Ischiofemoral impingement is described when the space between the lesser trochanter is decreased. Psoas impingement appears between the psoas tendon and the anterior labrum and anterior acetabular rim.

HighlightsThe confusing factor of regional block in shoulder surgery when neurologic damage appears after surgery.The importance of intraoperative head and neck position checking in long procedures.The beach-chair position as a possible factor that predisposes to brachial plexus traction injury.
