Avulsion post-traumatique de la tubérosité ischiatique chez le sportif

The avulsion fractures of the ischium are rare lesions, which are often unnoticed. When they are not diagnosed and, consequently, not dealt with, they are at the origin of persistent pains and could stop the sports activity. We report the case of an avulsion–fracture ischiatic tuberosity in a 16-year-old sportsman patient. The diagnosis selected initially was a tendinitis of hamstring and a medicamentous treatment was given. The symptomatology did not regress and the patient was entrusted to us at the end of six months. The take-in-charge consisted of reduction and the osteosynthesis of the detached fragment with simple postoperative and retake of sports activeness after one year.
