Uncommon presentation of anterior inferior iliac spine avulsion fracture accompanied by adductor muscles tendinopathy: A case report
Avulsion fracture of the anterior inferior iliac spine is an infrequent injury characterized by the detachment of an osseous fragment from the iliac spine. The patient's medical history, physical assessment, and radiographic investigations hold significance in the process of establishing a diagnosis. This particular case delineates the clinical attributes, diagnostic assessment, and therapeutic approach undertaken for a patient afflicted with this specific avulsion fracture. The case pertains to a 13-year-old male adolescent who manifested an abrupt onset of discomfort in the lower back, accompanied by a restricted range of motion, subsequent to striking a ball during a soccer match. The intention behind this document is to furnish insightful perspectives on the handling of fractures and avulsions of the anterior inferior iliac spine coupled with tendinopathy of the adductor muscles. This endeavor ultimately aspires to enhance the precision of clinical decision-making processes and elevate the standard of patient care.
