Avulsion Fractures
An avulsion fracture is a type of bone fracture that occurs when a tendon or ligament attached to a bone pulls off a small fragment of the bone. It typically happens when there is a sudden, forceful contraction of the muscle, causing the attached tendon or ligament to pull away from the bone.
