Abstract
Although ACL reconstruction remains a complex procedure with possible complications, affecting mainly the knee function, but no complications affecting the hip function have been already mentioned in the literature. Here in, we discuss the demographics, clinical course and outcomes of a rare complication such as hip abductors tendinitis, developed in soccer amateur athletes after ACL reconstruction with patellar tendon graft.
