Abstract

Avulsion fractures of the processes of the Antero Inferior Iliac Spine are rare in daily medical practice. The clinical case of a 14-year-old male patient was presented, a high-performance baseball athlete less than 15 years of age, who during a training race from home to first base felt strong pain in the left inguinal region that caused absolute functional impotence. He was treated in the orthopedic guard corps and an X-ray of the pelvis bone, ECOSOMA and CT was performed, diagnosing a fracture due to pulling of the Antero Inferior Iliac Spine. The injury was treated conservatively with rest, knee in semi-flexion and the administration of NSAIDs orally; consolidation of the fracture was achieved after two months. He underwent physiotherapy rehabilitation for another two months. Six months after the injury occurred, the patient achieved his incorporation back to daily sports practice without loss of sports performance.
