OrthoReaD Mystery Question (Morning Rounds Challenge)

​The Scenario: A 12-year-old girl is evaluated for AIS. To determine her remaining skeletal growth potential, the senior attending points to the AP pelvic radiograph and carefully traces the ossification of the iliac crest apophysis from lateral to medial.

​The attending turns to you and asks: "Doctor, this classic grading system goes from 0 (completely unossified) to 5 (fully fused to the ilium) and dictates our entire bracing strategy. What is the eponymous name of this sign?"
