Avulsion Fracture
An avulsion fracture is anavulsion in which the soft tissue tears away a piece of bone instead of detaching from the bone itself.
Avulsion fractures occur almost exclusively at an apophysis of the affected bone.
In pitching, the most common avulsion fracture involves the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
