Apophysis-sartorious: Rest, ice, and decreased activity is the usual treatment of choice for injury to the iliac crest. The growth plate is likely just about to close via the apophysis. This is where several muscle take their origin. In your son's case, it is likely an apophyseal fracture, minimally displaced, and amenable to nonoperative treatment
