Case 149 Asset 1 Ischial Avulsion Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Ryan Nussbaum of UPMC reviews an ischial avulsion injury using ultrasound. He explains the anatomy of the right proximal hamstring in long axis: the ischial tuberosity, a displaced cortical fragment, and the proximal hamstring tendon origin. As the scan progresses, the tendon is traced from its origin toward the myotendinous junction. The image shows a cortical fragment with surrounding heterogeneous edema, consistent with an acute proximal hamstring avulsion. The fragment is measured at approximately 1.36 cm of displacement from the ischial tuberosity.
