There is minimally displaced avulsion fracture of the left greater trochanter. There is no intertrochanteric or femur neck fracture. There is no bone lesion/ periosteal reaction/ dislocation.
Case Discussion
Hip rotators attach at the greater trochanter and a sudden change in direction can result in an avulsion fracture.
