Case:
A 2-year-old boy suffered an injury to the acetabular physis resulting in the formation of an osseus bar across all 3 limbs of the triradiate, growth arrest, and secondary hip dysplasia. This condition was treated with bony bar resection using an anterior intrapelvic approach. Over a follow-up period of more than 3 years, there was notable restoration of triradiate cartilage growth.
Conclusion:
Our case demonstrates that resection of a triradiate bar can be an effective treatment of premature traumatic triradiate closure. Early recognition and intervention are preferable before secondary changes in the acetabulum have fully developed.
