Spontaneous Isolated Iliopsoas Tendon Tear in Elderly—Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract
Iliopsoas tendon tears are rare. These typically occur in young and can be associated with avulsion fractures of lesser trochanter. We report a case of full thickness rupture of iliopsoas tendon in 87-year-old male without avulsion of the lesser trochanter.
