[Legg-Perthes-Calve disease. Clinical and radiological study of 37 children (43 hips) reviewed following cicatrization of the lesions].
Results of treatment of 43 hips with primary osteochondritis lesions (Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease) are reviewed at the healing stage (mean follow up 3 1/2 years). Orthopedic treatment was applied to 27 hips and 19 good or very good results were obtained, 5 results being rated as fair and 3 as poor. Operation on 16 hips produced 8 good and very good results, 2 fair and 6 poor. The influence of various factors are studied in relation to results obtained, and the importance emphasized of the onset of epiphyseal exentration and the early performance of surgery.
