Detailed explanation-1: -Avulsion fractures are most common around the hip or pelvis but can also occur in the ankle, foot, finger, elbow, or knee. Avulsion fractures occur most frequently in female athletes between the of ages 13 and 14 and in male athletes between the ages of 15 and 17.

Detailed explanation-2: -Avulsion fractures are more common in children due to their growing bodies. The part of the bone where growth takes place, called the growth plate, may be weaker than other areas of bone. When tendons or ligaments connect near the growth plate, they may fracture the bone when a child suffers an injury.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tuberosity avulsion fracture (also known as pseudo-Jones fracture or dancer’s fracture is a common fracture of the fifth metatarsal (the bone on the outside edge of the foot extending to the little toe). This fracture is likely caused by the lateral band of the plantar aponeurosis (tendon).

Detailed explanation-4: -Avulsion fracture of the anterior superior iliac spine Avulsion fractures occur more commonly in skeletally immature athletes than in adults because young patients’ tendons are stronger than their cartilaginous growth centres.
