Abstract
Fracture of the femoral shaft is a common injury that is often treated with closed locked intramedullary nailing. Associated injuries such as ipsilateral femoral neck fracture, neurological or vascular compromise, and soft tissue injury of the knee are well known, but surprisingly little information exists regarding soft tissue injury of the hip in the setting of a femoral shaft fracture. In this case a 35-year-old man status-post closed femoral shaft fracture fixation was found to have a symptomatic ipsilateral labral tear and was successfully treated with arthroscopic debridement.
