Best Practice Case Studies-Pelvic Avulsion Fractures

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Chris Fulmer, a faculty member at Stanford's O'Connor Sports Medicine Fellowship, discusses handling non-contact hip or pelvis injuries in adolescent athletes. He emphasizes identifying disruptions in bony or tendinous structures using skeletal models to pinpoint landmarks like the anterior superior and inferior iliac spines (ASIS and AIIS) and ischial tuberosity. These landmarks indicate muscle origins, aiding in diagnosing injuries through tests like resisted hip flexion for the rectus femoris at the AIIS and resisted actions for the sartorius muscle at the ASIS and hamstring at the ischial tuberosity.
