Perthes’ Disease: Is the Epiphysial Infarction Complete? a Study of the Morphology in Two Cases
276 THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY Despite an increasing interest in the morbid anatomy of Perthes’ disease, reports on human cases remain few and their conclusions indefinite. The classification of the radiological features and natural history by Catterall (1971) led to the conclusion that the prognosis was proportional to the degree of epiphysial involvement. This suggests that the siz...

متن کامل[Perthes disease].
The Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the hip during early childhood. It is characterized by different stages with the main risk of persisting hip deformation, dysfunction of the joint movement, and the potential for early osteoarthritis. For the evaluation of prognosis and therapy planning patients age and extent of the necrotic area of the epiphysis are importa...
متن کاملThe pathogenesis of Perthes' disease.
It has been shown that in the puppy, two infarcts separated by an interval of four weeks produce a disorder of long duration which results in flattening and broadening of the femoral head and which reproduces the radiological changes seen in Perthes' disease in man. The histological appearances produced by two infarcts are characteristic. In this study the histological appearance of fifty-seven...
