Dear Editor,
I was interested to read your recent article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine on a sequential AIIS avulsions in an adolescent long jumper. I have recently had a young patient who was a soccer player, with two sequential avulsions on the right side of the AIIS within a shorter
time frame. I would just like to point out, however, that on the xray, especially in Figure 1, it appears as if the injury in your athlete is more to the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), where the sartorius muscle attaches.
In fact, it is identified as this in the caption for Figure 1, but not for the other Figures. I have also seen avulsion injuries to the superior part of the iliac crest where the gluteus medius muscle attaches.
Sincerely,
Connie Lebrun Director Primary Care Sport Medicine Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic |
