Distal Adductor Magnus Avulsion Fracture Treated with Excision After Failure of Nonoperative Management: A Case Report.

CASE: In this case report, we discuss a skeletally immature gymnast who presented with an isolated distal femoral adductor tubercle avulsion fracture that went on to develop a painful nonunion. After the failure of extensive nonoperative intervention, she had resolution of her symptoms with bony excision and soft-tissue repair.

CONCLUSION

It is important for clinicians to be aware of this atypical injury pattern and that surgical intervention may be necessary because conservative treatment may not always resolve symptoms.
