Avulsion fracture of the ischium
Injury, 1998Abstract Avulsion of the ischial apophysis is well known to occur from puberty until final fusion at around 25 years of age. The mechanism of injury varies but is usually strenuous, resulting in a high rate of stretch or contraction of the hamstrings. Minimally displaced fractures have a good prognosis when managed non-operatively. Where the fracture

Avulsion Fracture of the Index Metacarpal
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987A case is reported of the avulsion of the insertion of Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus, an injury that has been reported only once before. The anatomy of the region and mechanism of injury are discussed, as is the importance of open reduction with internal fixation.

Trauma, 2011
An avulsion fracture is a separation of a small fragment of a bone cortex at the site of a ligament or tendon attachment. It is commonly seen in adolescent athletes. The mechanism of injury is either a sudden violent muscular contraction or an excessive amount of muscle stretch across an open epiphysis.

The Hip: Avulsion Fractures [PDF]
, 2013 Pelvic avulsion fractures are indirect injuries that may involve the ischial tuberosity (IT), the two anterior iliac spines, the iliac crest (IC), or the trochanters of adolescent athletes usually after sudden eccentric muscular contractions. Most of these fractures will heal with conservative treatment, but recognizing excessive displacement is ...

Avulsion Fractures of the Tibial Tubercle
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1971Seven cases of avulsion fracture of the tibial tubercle are presented. Six of the cases were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Accurate reduction, adequate fixation, and rehabilitation appear to insure an excellent prognosis.

AVULSION FRACTURES OF THE CALCANEUS
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 19691. The literature on fractures of the postero-superior aspect of the calcaneus is reviewed. 2. The mechanical distinction between "beak" fractures and avulsion fractures is questioned, and the dangers of a purely radiological diagnosis are stressed. 3. When a complete avulsion is suspected on clinical grounds, open reduction should be done.

Avulsion fractures of the pediatric knee
Pediatric Radiology, 2014Although avulsion fractures of the pediatric knee are uncommon, they are important injuries to recognize because they are frequently associated with adjacent soft-tissue and osteocartilaginous abnormalities. Related injuries, which include entrapment of soft-tissue structures, intra-articular fracture extension, and intra-articular loose bodies, can ...
