[Limited osteochondritis complicating coxa valga in children (author's transl)].
Height cases of limited "osteochondritis" were observed in children showing some degree of coxa valga. The radiological appearances were different from those of Perthe's disease and resembled those of osteochondritis dissecans of the knee but with stability during their development. These "osteochondritis" were often bilateral; all the patients were male. In four cases some degree of platyspindyly was seen. It is thought that these hips are earlier and limited varieties of osteo-chondrodysplasia. The indications for varus osteotomy are discussed.
