Anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) avulsion is an injury typically affecting adolescent athletes. The condition involves the AIIS, an anterior pelvic prominence where the rectus femoris muscle originates. Such injuries result from sudden, forceful rectus femoris tightening, especially during activities requiring quick hip bending and knee straightening, such as kicking and running. Adolescents are at higher risk of developing the condition due to their open growth plates. Patients often report sharp pain in the anterior pelvic region worsened by hip flexion.Diagnosis of AIIS avulsion typically involves a physical examination assessing hip range of motion and strength, supported by appropriate imaging studies. Management may include conservative measures like rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications or more invasive interventions such as casting, bracing, or surgical repair, depending on injury severity.This activity for healthcare providers is designed to enhance learners’ competence in evaluating and managing AIIS avulsion. The activity deepens participants’ understanding of AIIS avulsion’s pathophysiology, presentations, diagnostic methods, and the latest treatment options. Learners become equipped to collaborate within an interprofessional team to improve outcomes for patients with this condition.
