title: Magnetic resonance imaging not indicated in healed Perthes' disease. Comparison with radiography in 10 cases.
abstract: We examined 10 patients with unilateral healed Perthes' disease with plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The mean time between the onset of symptoms and follow-up was 8 (4-10) years. The MRI scans did not contribute more information than the plain radiographs.
