NON-UNION OF THE ISCHIAL TUBEROSITY ASSOCIATED WITH EPIPHYSITIS VERTEBRAE
Report of a Case
WALTER SCOTT 1
1 Medical Corps, United States Naval Reserve
Failure of the secondary ossification center of the ischium to unite with the diaphysis is possibly a part of a general osteochondritic dysfunction. In the case presented, it was associated with a moderately severe, but healed, osteochondritis of the thoracic spine and a short femur of undetermined origin; there was a history of a short leg in the father.
