Apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis and hip are relatively common among physically active adolescents and young adults.

Epidemiology

Pelvic and hip apophyseal injuries typically occur in the 14 to 25 year age range.

Mechanism

Kicking sports, such as soccer, and gymnastics are frequently implicated.

Pathology

Sudden forceful muscular contraction causes avulsion of the apophysis to which the tendon attaches.
