Rickets in adolescence

G J Hunter et al. Clin Radiol. 1984 Sep.

Abstract

The radiological diagnosis of rickets is mainly based on the widened appearance of actively developing epiphyseal growth plates. In the adolescent with rickets the secondary iliac and ischial ossification centres may be abnormally wide when most other epiphyses have fused. The appearance of the iliac crest is of use both in helping to make the diagnosis and in monitoring the results of treatment.
