<b>Asymmetric Closure of Ischiopubic Synchondrosis in Pediatric Patients:</b> Correlation with Foot Dominance

Abstract

Unilateral enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis is closely correlated with foot dominance. The asymmetric ossification pattern of the ischiopubic synchondrosis indicates delayed ossification of this anatomic structure due to asymmetrically applied mechanical forces to the nondominant limb.
