Abstract

Visakh Prasad1, Joji Krishnan2

Obturator externus tear is an extremely uncommon injury. The correct diagnosis is delayed due to nonspecific clinical features and normal x-rays. Isolated obturator externus tear is not reported in literature to the best of our knowledge. We present a case of isolated obturator externus tear diagnosed with MRI.
