Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis and hip
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis and hip are relatively common amongst physically active adolescents and young adults. Sudden forceful muscular contraction causes the apophysis to which the tendon attaches to avulse.
Epidemiology
Pelvic and hip apophyseal injuries typically occur in the 14 to 25 year age range. Kicking sports, such as soccer, and gymnastics are frequently to blame.
Pathology
Sudden forceful muscular contraction causes the apophysis to which the tendon attaches to avulse.
Sites of avulsion
- iliac crest avulsion - anterior abdominal wall muscles
- anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) avulsion - tensor fascia lata and sartorius
- anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) avulsion - straight head of rectus femoris
- greater trochanter avulsion - hip rotator cuff
- lesser trochanter avulsion - iliopsoas
- ischial tuberosity avulsion - hamstring muscles
- body and inferior ramus of pubic bone - thigh adductors and gracilis
