Abstract

A 32-year-old woman presented to physical therapy with left anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) pain that began during running 2 weeks prior. Following examination by two different physical therapists and noncontributory radiographs ordered by a sports medicine physician, she was referred for further imaging. Sonography and magnetic resonance imaging indicated an incomplete anterior superior iliac spine avulsion fracture and edema of the tensor fascia latae.
