Avulsion fractures of spina iliaca anterior inferior (SIAI) are among the infrequent injuries of pelvic bones, which are usually described during shooting in football players. Both of our cases were amateur football players, presented to our clinic with pelvic pain which began just after shooting during a football game. Both cases were detected to have SIAI avulsion fractures. They were offered rest for 4 weeks with non-weight bearing plus non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. At the end of four weeks, physical examination revealed complete and painless passive range of motion of hip. Upon further physical examination at the end of sixth weeks, active, painless and complete range of motion were achieved. In our study, we concluded that results of conservative treatment were satisfactory in avulsion fractures of SIAI that may commonly be encountered in football players.
