We report a case of a non-traumatic right-sided os ischium fracture and ramus inferior fracture in an 18-year-old cricket athlete of the national Dutch team. Occasionally, apophyseal avulsion fractures of the pelvis occur; however, non-traumatic isolated fractures of the os ischium are rare. This case highlights the treatment and result of an unusual cricket injury.
