Core Tip Avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity (AFIT) is a clinically rare injury mainly incurred by adolescents during competitive sports. AFIT is frequently misdiagnosed as a tendon tear or muscle strain and selecting an appropriate treatment method remains challenging due to the absence of evidence-based treatment guidelines. A literature review indicated that AFIT exhibits more complex healing patterns than other pelvic avulsion fractures under conservative management. Clinicians should increase their awareness of this type of injury. Aggressive surgical intervention is suggested for patients with displaced AFIT to ensure optimal outcomes and expedite their return to pre-injury athletic performance levels.
