[Traumatic anterior dislocation of the sportsman's hip].
We report on a 46-year-old male patient without any prior deformities who got a luxation of the right hip when he played soccer. After the immediate reposition during general anaesthesia the patient is symptom-free up to now. Luxations after hip replacement are indeed well-known and common, but this traumatic luxation in an adult patient is an unusual sports injury.
