Avulsion Fracture

Avulsion Fracture

An Avulsion Fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament forcefully pulls a fragment of bone away from its attachment site. This type of fracture typically happens at the point where the soft tissue connects to the bone. Common locations for Avulsion Fractures include the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder. These fractures often result from sudden, forceful contractions of muscles during activities such as jumping or sprinting. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and potential difficulty with joint movement. Diagnosis involves imaging studies like X-rays to assess the extent of the fracture. Treatment may include rest, immobilization, and sometimes surgical intervention to reposition and secure the bone fragment. The prognosis for Avulsion Fractures is generally favourable, especially with prompt and appropriate medical attention. Rehabilitation, including physical therapy, is often crucial to restoring strength and function to the affected joint and preventing long-term complications.
