| ABSTRACT |
| We
report a displaced femoral shaft fracture that occurred with no sign
of contact-induced, stress, fatigue, or previous abnormal bone pathology
in a 19-y-old man who kicked the ground instead of the ball when playing
soccer. After examination to rule out abnormal bone pathology, intramedullary
nailing was performed. Bone union was achieved and he could return
to recreational soccer. Among soccer injuries, the occurrence of displaced
femoral shaft fractures in the absence of stress, fatigue, or pathological
fracture is rare. Awareness of such a rare cause of displaced femoral
shaft fracture would help clinicians in the field of sports and soccer
medicine.
KEY
WORDS: Femoral shaft fracture, soccer, sports.
