She sustained a displaced, grade IIIA open left anterior column acetabular fracture. The injury was treated by extending the open wound to a formal first window of the ilioinguinal approach. After surgical debridement, the anterior column was reduced anatomically and fixed by two lag screws which avoided the tri-radiate cartilage. A vaginal laceration was debrided and repaired. The patient was treated in a spica cast without weight bearing on the left lower extremity for 8 weeks. No perioperative complications occurred. The acetabular fracture healed in an anatomic position within 8 weeks. To avoid premature closure of the tri-radiate cartilage, the patient underwent a physeal bar resection at one year after injury. At two-year follow up, she was walking and running without pain and had a free range of motion of her left hip.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Operative management should represent the therapy of choice for open, displaced pediatric acetabular fractures. After fracture healing, a scheduled physeal bar resection may be required for injuries which involve the tri-radiate cartilage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874325000701010009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,12,19]],"date-time":"2007-12-19T07:02:15Z","timestamp":1198047735000},"page":"9-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Management of an Open Acetabular Fracture in a Skeletally Immature Patient"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Sarah Y","family":"Clutter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven J","family":"Morgan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Erickson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wade R","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip F","family":"Stahel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-200007000-00012","volume":"376","author":"Heeg M","year":"2000","unstructured":"Heeg M, de Ridder VA, Tornetta P 3rd, de Lange S, Klasen HJ. \n                    Acetabular fractures in children and adolescents \n                    Clin Orthop Relat Res  \n                    2000; \n                    376\n                    : 80-6.","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"refR2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"A57","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2004.12.014","volume":"36","author":"Schlickwei W","year":"2005","unstructured":"Schlickwei W, Keck T. \n                    Pelvic and acetabular fractures in childhood \n                    Injury  \n                    2005; \n                    36\n                    ((Suppl 1))\n                    : A57-63.","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"refR3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"226","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199703000-00031","volume":"336","author":"Rieger H","year":"1997","unstructured":"Rieger H, Brug E. \n                    Fractures of the pelvis in children \n                    Clin Orthop Relat Res  \n                    1997; \n                    336\n                    : 226-39.","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"refR4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-001-0634-y","volume":"32","author":"Rubel IF","year":"2002","unstructured":"Rubel IF, Kloen P, Potter HG, Helfet DL. \n                    MRI assessment of the posterior acetabular wall fracture in traumatic dislocation of the hip in children \n                    Pediatr Radiol  \n                    2002; \n                    32\n                    : 435-9.","journal-title":"Pediatr Radiol"},{"key":"refR5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"130","DOI":"10.1097\/01241398-200401000-00023","volume":"24","author":"Smith WR","year":"2004","unstructured":"Smith WR, Oakley M, Morgan SJ. \n                    Pediatric pelvic fractures \n                    J Pediatr Orthop  \n                    2004; \n                    24\n                    : 130-5.","journal-title":"J Pediatr Orthop"},{"key":"refR6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1097\/01.blo.0000155372.65446.40","volume":"432","author":"Quick TJ","year":"2005","unstructured":"Quick TJ, Eastwood DM. \n                    Pediatric fractures and dislocations of the hip and pelvis \n                    Clin Orthop Relat Res  \n                    2005; \n                    432\n                    : 87-96.","journal-title":"Clin Orthop Relat Res"},{"key":"refR7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1245","DOI":"10.1097\/01.TA.0000029212.19179.4A","volume":"54","author":"Liporace FA","year":"2003","unstructured":"Liporace FA, Ong B.
