The majority of these fractures can be treated conservatively, with most returning to full activity. Surgical treatment of these injuries has been traditionally indicated for >2 cm displacement, painful nonunion, symptomatic exostosis formation, or persistent pain and symptoms. Lesser trochanter avulsion injuries are extremely rare and literature outlining their surgical treatment lacking. We present our method of arthroscopic reduction and fixation of lesser trochanter avulsion nonunions.
