Surgically Treated Ischial Tuberosity Avulsion Fractures in Adolescents: Risks and Outcomes of 3 Fixation Constructs.

This retrospective cohort study demonstrated that postoperative complications after ORIF for AFIT were not infrequent but were largely low in severity. Refracture occurred only with a combined screw and suture anchor construct. Consistent return to sport was achieved across all fixation types, with no significant difference in complication rate between constructs, although the available study sample limited robust analysis. This study is also, of note, one of the first to report outcomes from cortical suspensory buttons (CSB)-a relatively novel intervention for AFIT. Findings from this retrospective case series of multiple surgical techniques serve to bolster the limited literature base regarding the operative treatment of AFITs in adolescents.
