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.
