Radiological findings for some of the cases studied. a Premature proximal physeal closure and medial displacement of the distal fragment after osteotomy. The white arrow points to a hazy bony shadow associated with the ends of the wires in the gluteal region. b Marked medial displacement of the distal fragment after osteotomy in a revision case after a previous osteotomy fixed with plate and screws. c A hazy bony shadow associated with the ends of the wires in the gluteal region. This became mature bony mass in the abductors, which had no significant clinical implications and progressively reduced in size with maturation. d Sunken wires with growth of the patient for 8.5 years postoperatively, showing remodeling of the acetabulum and proximal femur
