Avulsion injuries of adductor frequently involve the proximal origin. We report the first case of avulsion fracture of adductor magnus at its insertion and discuss the relevant anatomy.
Introduction:
Ischial lesion is considered rare.
Aim:
In this study, we review the patient demographics, imaging appearances, and pathological entities which arise in the ischium with the aim of facilitating a differential diagnosis. This allows appropriate management to be instigated in a timely fashion, enabling lesion to be stratified into those that can be managed locally or referred to a specialist center.
Materials and Methods:
A retrospective search of our oncology and radiology database was performed to identify primary ischial lesions.
Results:
The search revealed 82 cases with primary involvement of ischium. The most common benign tumor was aneurysmal bone cyst in patients under 40 years and osteochondroma in patients over the age of 40 years. Metastasis was the most common malignant tumor in both cohorts (<40 years and over 40 years).
Conclusion:
We present the patient demographics, imaging appearances of pathological entities which arise in the ischium with the aim of facilitating a differential diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
