Arthroscopic Reduction and Fixation of a Lesser Trochanter Avulsion Nonunion.


ABSTRACT: Identifying and treating avulsion fractures of the pelvis and proximal femur in adolescent athletes has become increasingly more important as the rate of competitive sports participation has grown. The majority of these fractures can be treated conservatively, with most returning to full activity. Surgical treatment of these injuries has been traditionally indicated for >2 cm displacement, painful nonunion, symptomatic exostosis formation, or persistent pain and symptoms. Lesser trochanter avulsion injuries are extremely rare and literature outlining their surgical treatment lacking. We present our method of arthroscopic reduction and fixation of lesser trochanter avulsion nonunions.
