Article Abstract
Background: To summarize and analyze the epidemiological characteristics, treatment and corresponding curative effect of triradiate cartilage injury(TCI) in children after trauma, to provide a theoretical basis for early diagnosis and improvement of treatment.
Methods: The TCI was classified according to Bucholz classification, and the final curative effect was evaluated with Harris Hip Score and imaging examination during follow-up. Finally, a comprehensive analysis was made by reviewing the cases in the literature combined with the patients in our hospital.
Results: A total of 15 cases (18 hips) of triradiate cartilage injuries were collected in our hospital. There was 1 hip with type I injury, nine hips with type II injury, two hips with type IV injury, one hip with type V injury and five hips with type VI injury. Among the 12 cases with complete follow-up, the bone bridge was found in or around the triradiate cartilage in 8 cases, early fusion of triradiate cartilage occurred in 5 patients, 3 cases had hip dysplasia, 4 cases had a subluxation of the femoral head, and HHS was excellent in 8 cases and good in 4 cases.
Conclusion: The early diagnosis of TCI is still a difficult problem. Conservative treatment is often the first choice. The overall prognosis of acetabular fractures involving triradiate cartilage is poor. The formation of the bone bridge in triradiate cartilage usually indicates the possibility of premature closure, which may lead to severe complications of post-traumatic acetabular dysplasia and subluxation of the femoral head.

Relationship between the pelvic incidence and the modified Oxford Hip score: a computed tomographic analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between pelvic parameters, specifically pelvic incidence (PI), and skeletal maturity as measured by the modified Oxford Hip Score (mOHS).
- Data from CT scans of 193 children and adolescents were analyzed, revealing significant positive correlations between age and all mOHS components, with weak correlations between mOHS and PI.
- The research concluded that while there is a weak correlation between mOHS and PI, the triradiate cartilage and lesser trochanter cartilage status may be important anatomical factors for future studies.
Acetabular rim syndrome revisited.
Bone Joint J
December 2024
Scottish Rite for Children, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Aims: There has been limited literature regarding outcomes of acetabular rim syndrome (ARS) with persistent acetabular os in the setting of acetabular dysplasia. The purpose of this study was to characterize a cohort of adolescent and young adult patients with ARS with persistent os and compare their radiological and clinical outcomes to patients with acetabular dysplasia without an os.
Methods: We reviewed a prospective database of patients undergoing periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia between January 1999 and December 2021 to identify hips with preoperative os acetabuli, defined as a closed triradiate cartilage but persistence of a superolateral os acetabulum.
Acetabular Fracture and Triradiate Cartilage Injury in an Adolescent After a Motorcycle Crash: A Case Report.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Mobile, USA.
The acetabular triradiate cartilage is the main structure that determines the development of the acetabulum. Furthermore, the paucity of data in the literature and lack of consensus amongst physicians following diagnosis regarding whether to treat these fractures operatively or non-operatively places the physician with a challenging choice. Here, we report a case of a 13-year-old boy who suffered a triradiate cartilage fracture from a high-energy motorcycle crash and presented with a displaced, left T-type acetabulum fracture.

Background: While often used, Hilgenreiner's line may not always be a reliable reference plane following triple innominate pelvic osteotomy or trauma to the triradiate cartilage. The inferior sacral-iliac line is a horizontal line connecting the sclerotic corners of the inferior sacral-iliac joints. This is a consistent landmark in the ossifying infant pelvis as well as the fully developed adult pelvis.

Abnormal hip bone morphologies are associated with various diseases of the hip joint. Weight bearing, especially during growth, may be important to achieve normal acetabulum development. This study aimed to investigate whether hip bone morphologies were affected by hindlimb suspension (HS) in 4 week-old rats.
