A case of a 23-year-old man with deformities of the spine and hip is presented, demonstrating the bizarre long term effects of radiation on developing bone. The spectrum of radiation-induced growth abnormalities is reviewed. Multiple variables, including age of the patient, the quantity of radiation delivered, and the site of delivery, all effect the eventual radiographic appearance.
