A case of early closure of the triradiate cartilage, probably secondary to neonatal septic arthritis of the right hip, is reported. Tomograms of the hip showed the triradiate cartilage closed posteriorly, with the anterior portion still open. These findings were confirmed at operation. An arthrogram and a CT scan of the right hip showed subluxation of the femoral head. This unique complication, after an episode of septic arthritis of the hip, has not before been reported in the literature.
