In this paper we report a case concerning an avulsion fracture of the iliac crest in an 18-year-old boy. The fracture happened while he was playing soccer. He reported with a left hip pain to the Accident and Emergency Department about half an hour after the injury had occurred. The diagnosis was made on the basis of radiographs of the pelvis which showed an avulsion fracture of the iliac crest. He was treated conservatively with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and rest. Two months later he could play soccer again without any complaint.
