Rehabilitation for returning to sports in individuals with sports-induced pelvic injuries—a narrative review

Abstract

The purpose of this narrative review is to outline pelvic injuries caused by sports and to clarify their trends, treatment, and management. We describe the rehabilitation for sports injuries of the pelvis, with a focus on pelvic avulsion injuries and pelvic bone stress fractures. This narrative review of fifteen articles published in the last 10 years (from 2013 to 2023) reveals a dearth of new rehabilitation knowledge regarding sports-induced pelvic injuries.
