N2  - BACKGROUND: Ischial tuberosity fractures in children are a form of avulsion fractures caused by the strong thigh muscles of the back group (ischiotibial muscles). <br><br>OBJECTIVE: Presentation of observations covering the diagnostic difficulties, treatment and follow-up of ischial tuberosity fractures in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 6 children (one girl and five boys), average age at the time of injury - 13.6 years (12-15.5 years). An analysis of medical and radiological documentation of patients. <br><br>RESULTS: Two patients with chronic pain were suspected of ischial bone tumor, one was suspected of Perthes disease, and only 3 were sent to the Traumatology Department immediately after the football [soccer] injury. All patients were treated conservatively. Complete healing of fractures was finally achieved in all patients - (fibrous union in two cases) and finally, after an average period of 9 months, the pain subsided. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: There is a discussion in medical literature about the difficulties in the diagnosis of ischial tuberosity fractures, which were primarily unrecognized. Radiological picture of significant bone rebuilding may suggest neoplastic lesions. In the literature dominates the attitude of conservative treatment. Only in cases of large displacement of fracture and chronic ailments caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, surgery should be considered.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
