  • Iliacus muscle tears are a rare injury seen after the high-energy trauma or as a result of low-energy injuries in patients with a bleeding diathesis as coagulopathy, receiving anticoagulation therapy and hemophiliac. Femoral nerve palsy due to compression from a hematoma by iliacus muscle rupture are rarely reported. Routine evaluation includes MRI to confirm and define the pathologic abnormality supplemented by EMG and nerve conduction studies to evaluate patterns and extent of femoral nerve injury. Hematologic evaluation for bleeding diathesis may preceded, if suspicion of coagulopathy is present. We report the case of a healthy 32-year-old male with iliacus rupture and concomitant femoral nerve palsy sustained by kicking motion during soccer game. After 6 months of observation with non-operative treatment regimen, satisfactory results were obtained, so we report it with a review of the literatures.
