Core Tip

Core tip: The patient of this report showed change in the X-rays suggesting bone remodeling due to callus formation of anterior inferior iliac spine apophysis and osteochondroma being caused by anterior inferior iliac spine avulsion fracture. The patient complained of pain, and underwent osteotomy. This case can show the correlation between previous trauma and osteochondroma formation.
