Abstract
In this rare case of simultaneous bilateral avulsion fracture of the anterior superior iliac spines, we achieved very good results with full recovery using conservative treatment with a period of bed rest followed by gradual physiotherapy. The patient returned to full sporting activities less than 3 months from the original injury.
Surgery is only indicated in significant displacement and for any concomitant neurological symptoms, even in a bilateral simultaneous injury.
