title: Treatment options for symptomatic degenerative joint disease secondary to Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
abstract: The treatment options for neglected Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) leading to symptomatic degenerative joint disease always have posed a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. In addition, the literature is disorganized in this regard. Therefore, a structured literature review of the treatment options for the symptomatic sequelae of LCPD, especially in the context of joint replacement and resurfacing, is very much needed.
