Avulsion injuries of the pelvis are common sports-related findings in skeletally immature adolescent patients. They usually present as an avulsion of the unfused apophysis, resulting from forced muscular contraction during typical athletic movements or from chronic traction injuries. Acute apophyseal avulsion injuries are usually easily detected with radiography. Occasionally, advanced imaging such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging is required in order to detect or fully assess the extent of injury. Chronic injuries can mimic aggressive entities, such as neoplasms and may thus cause difficulties in differential diagnosis. Profound knowledge of typical locations of apophyseal tendon attachment sites at the osseous pelvis and correct interpretation of imaging findings can facilitate accurate diagnosis. This article discusses the clinical and radiological findings of pelvic apophyseal avulsion injuries in pediatric patients and highlights potential complications and differential diagnoses.
