“…As Paterson and Robertson recommend, the treatment should be done early [12]. In the case reported by Rodrigues, only a peripheral, intrapelvic bridge was seen 17 months after trauma, but complete fusion of triradiate cartilage developed 4 years later [15].…”

“…Complete or partial growth arrest of the triradiate cartilage may be seen after pelvic fractures [1,2,7,15,16,18], infection [4,20], or iatrogenic damage after pelvic osteotomy [13] .The consequences of physeal growth disturbance, shown by experimental [5,6] and clinical studies [1,2,15,16,18], include acetabular dysplasia and subluxation or dislocation of the femoral head. Conceptually, restoration of normal growth is the goal of treatment no matter the location of the physeal bar; in most locations, this is achieved surgically.…”

“…Another argument against surgery for physeal bars of the triradiate cartilage is that posttraumatic bars in this location may be too large to resect and still hope to regain growth [12]. Finally, it has been postulated that if a physeal bar of the triradiate cartilage leads to acetabular dysplasia years later [2,15], the dysplasia can be treated with reconstructive pelvic osteotomies that provide reliable results [18].…”

Background Acetabular fractures are rare in children and can be complicated by premature fusion of the triradiate cartilage resulting in secondary acetabular dysplasia. Early recognition and treatment of a physeal bar in this location can be difficult. The purpose of this case report was to investigate whether early intervention could restore acetabular growth and prevent secondary acetabular dysplasia as measured on plain radiographs. Case Description We report a series of three patients (3, 4, and 5 years old) who underwent physeal bridge resection and methylmethacrylate or fat interposition through an extended Pfannenstiel approach. The mean followup was 6 years. After resection of the osseous bridge the physis initially remained open with evident acetabular

“…Even fewer patients sustain specific injury to the triradiate cartilage. 1,4,6,9,10 Resultant premature closure of the triradiate cartilage has an overall incidence of less than 5% (range, 0 -11%) in pediatric patients with acetabular fractures. 2,4,8 Differences in structure, quality, and ratios of bone and cartilage account for differences in the incidence, pattern of injury, and functional outcome of pediatric versus adult patients.…”

Survey studies of osteoarchaeological collections occasionally yield specimens exhibiting rare skeletal developmental disorders. Beyond paleopathological diagnosis, however, it is often difficult to gain insight into the processes, mechanisms, and consequences of the pathology, notably because archaeological specimens are often fragmentary. Here, we propose a combination of virtual reconstruction (VR) and geometric morphometrics (GM) to address these issues. As an example, we use VR to reconstruct the only known archaeological specimen exhibiting persistence of the pelvic triradiate cartilage and compare it via GM with a set of healthy pelvises representing both sexes and different ontogenetic stages. Our results evidence (i) a marked deviation of the pathological pelvis from the adult mean shape, (ii) the retention of typical male features, and (iii) the retention of a paedomorphic ratio between iliac and ischiopubic size. Altogether, such data offer new insights into the modularity and integration of pelvic ontogeny, while at the same time demonstrating the usefulness of a combined VR/GM approach as complement to classical methods of paleopathology.

V C 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Key words: growth disorders; triradiate cartilage; middle ages; virtual reconstruction; geometric morphometrics Skeletal growth and development is a central topic in bioanthropological research. The study of the pathways leading to the adult skeletal phenotype is relevant for sex determination, the estimation of age at death, and the diagnosis of disease in unidentified subjects from an archaeological and/or forensic context. The relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to skeletal features, however, is often unknown (Scheuer and Black, 2000). In this regard, the study of congenital developmental disorders offers indirect clues on (i) the genetic background of the structure's ontogeny and (ii) the degree of developmental and functional integration between different skeletal modules.Among growth disorders, skeletal growth zone persistence (SGP) represents an occasional finding, possibly
