Aus Dornheim Anatomy
An avulsion fracture (Alvusion fracture) is a fracture in which a bone fragment, caused by the strong pull on a tendon or ligament anchored in the bone, is torn out of the bone. This fracture is caused by a sudden increase in tension on a tendon or ligament at the bony attachment, because tendons or ligaments have a high tensile strength, especially in younger people.
