Ischiofemoral Impingement Due to an Undiagnosed Pelvic Avulsion Fracture
CURRENT SPORTS MEDICINE REPORTS(2023)
摘要
This case report highlights potential complications of ischial tuberosity avulsion fractures and discusses the role of various imaging modalities, with an emphasis on point-of-care ultrasound, in both diagnosis and management. Ischial tuberosity (IT) avulsion fractures are an uncommon cause of injuries in athletes. In this case, a 26-year-old female suffering from posterior right hip pain for over a decade presented with debility and a decrease in athletic function. Notable history included a hamstring strain while sprinting in elementary school. Clinical examination suggested hamstring tendinopathy and ischiofemoral impingement (IFI). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a chronic, fragmented, IT apophyseal avulsion fracture with ischial bursitis and edema within the fragmented bone, suggesting the development of heterotopic ossification (HO). Diagnostic ultrasound revealed signs of IFI, not evident on MRI. Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in her ischial bursa and ischiofemoral space provided complete relief. The patient was able to resume her activities of daily living and sports-related activities without pain. Although interventional treatments may provide temporary pain relief, a multimodal approach is required for the treatment of HO.
