Abstract
Introduction: Isolated traumatic posterior hip dislocation is seen as an extremely rare incident during sport activities. In this case report we aimed to present an isolated traumatic posterior hip dislocation of an amateur tennis player.
Case Report: A 26-year-old female patient who was injured during playing tennis was brought to our orthopedic emergency unit and diagnosed with pure posterior hip dislocation. Her hip was immediately reduced under sedation which then a rehabilitation program was begun.
Conclusion: Amateur people generally play tennis on cement floor which may result in hip dislocation, if slipped. To prevent dislocations and these kinds of extreme injuries non-slippery shoes and shock absorbable relatively soft surfaces to play must be preferred by the players.

Keywords: Pure traumatic hip dislocation, Tennis player
