Abstract
The objective of our study was to describe the MRI appearance of chronic repetitive stress injury of the iliac crest apophysis in adolescent athletes. Increased signal intensity on water-sensitive sequences and mild widening of the physis, often with adjacent bone marrow and muscle edema, are characteristic of chronic stress injury of the iliac apophysis in adolescent athletes who may present with hip, pelvic, or back pain.
