Adolescent athletes may sustain an avulsion of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) which is due to the pull of the rectus femoris. Figure A shows a radio-density overlying the right acetabulum which is consistent with a mildly displaced AIIS avulsion in a skeletally immature patient. The rectus femoris originates at the AIIS and inserts into the patellar tendon as one of the four quadriceps muscles (see illustration A). Illustration B details the sites for different muscle avulsion injuries around the pelvis which are commonly seen in adolescent athletes.
