Hey, just bringing this old question up for a vote.

Other Answers:
An avulsion fracture is a bone fracture which occurs when a (usually small) piece of bone becomes bisected as a result of physical trauma to the ligament attached to it.

If the fracture is small, it is usually sufficient to treat with rest and support bandage, but in more severe cases surgery may be required. Ice may be used to relieve swelling.
