| description | It has been reported that avulsion fractures of the pelvic ring are frequently seen in adolescents, however, to a lesser extent, they occur also in adult cases. We discussed the diagnosis and medicolegal evaluation of the anterior inferior avulsion fracture of the iliac spine in our patient who was injured because of assault. As presented in our case, pelvic avulsion fractures should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the adolescent cases in which the trauma mechanism described during the anamnesis and clinical findings detected during the examination are coherent. Since whether a bone fracture occurs due to the trauma may affect the result of the forensic, hence the judicial process, a more detailed examination of the direct radiographs correlated with the clinical findings, the consultation requests from the relevant clinical branches, and usage of further imaging techniques when necessary are particularly important for the accurate closure of medicolegal report. |
