Popis: A 44-year-old male presented to us with right hip pain and limb shortening following road traffic accident. He was diagnosed to have blunt abdominal injury, right hip posterior fracture dislocation, right knee dislocation with vascular injury. Though vascular repair was attempted, he ended up with an above knee amputation. Hip joint was unstable even after closed reduction and intraoperatively, gluteus medius avulsion was noted. This is the second reported case of abductor tendon avulsion in posterior hip dislocations.
