| Abstract | We present a case of avulsion of a large fragment of the ischial tuberosity in an elderly lady, caused by an extreme abduction of the hip. To our knowledge such an injury has not yet been described in the elderly. The decision to operate was based on the reported experience with this injury in young individuals. We assumed that the same indications applied, while also taking into account the known risk factors of surgery in the elderly. |
