Abstract

Background: Acute traumatic injuries of the triradiate cartilage are very rare in children and usually result from high-energy trauma associated with other pelvic injuries. Only two sports-related cases of complete injuries of the triradiate cartilage have been reported to date.

Case presentation: We herein describe the first case of a partial injury of the triradiate cartilage in a 14-year-old athlete. The patient presented with sudden-onset hip pain and moderate functional impairment. The fracture was confined to the ilioischial synchondrosis, while the remaining triradiate cartilage and the contralateral side were fused. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested the diagnosis, which was confirmed by a computed tomography (CT) scanner.

Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of carefully evaluating the triradiate cartilage on imaging in young athletes with sudden-onset hip pain, even when the triradiate cartilage remains partially open unilaterally.

期刊介绍： Official Journal of the European Society of Pediatric Radiology, the Society for Pediatric Radiology and the Asian and Oceanic Society for Pediatric Radiology Pediatric Radiology informs its readers of new findings and progress in all areas of pediatric imaging and in related fields. This is achieved by a blend of original papers, complemented by reviews that set out the present state of knowledge in a particular area of the specialty or summarize specific topics in which discussion has led to clear conclusions. Advances in technology, methodology, apparatus and auxiliary equipment are presented, and modifications of standard techniques are described. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.
