The Catterall classification of Perthes' disease: an assessment of reliability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The reliability of the Catterall grouping of Perthes' disease was examined by determining the agreement between pairs of observers using weighted kappa statistics. Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 100 hip joints were grouped independently by four experienced observers. There was a low, and in our opinion, unacceptable degree of inter-observer agreement even when Groups 2 and 3 were combined.

Evolution in diagnosis and treatment of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with variable complications and resultant deformity of the femoral head and osteoarthritis. Suggested risk factors are acetabular retroversion, obesity, latitude, hyperactivity, and coagulopathy. The most commonly applied classification is based on radiolucency in the lateral pillar of the femoral head, which i...
متن کاملReliability of serial bone scintigraphy classification according to Conway in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
Serial bone scintigraphy in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCP) has a good early prognostic value. So far, no intra- and inter-observer reliability study on this classification has been published. Serial technetium scintigraphy of the hips was performed in 40 children with LCP disease, and the hips were classified based on their scintigraphic patterns according to Conway. Forty hips were classifie...
متن کاملRadiographic classifications in Perthes disease
Background and purpose - Different radiographic classifications have been proposed for prediction of outcome in Perthes disease. We assessed whether the modified lateral pillar classification would provide more reliable interobserver agreement and prognostic value compared with the original lateral pillar classification and the Catterall classification. Patients and methods - 42 patients (38 bo...
متن کاملThe effect of the therapeutic approach on the course of Perthes' disease and its outcome: Conservative vs. surgical treatment.
Background. The aim of our study was to compare the outcome of Perthes' disease in children treated conservatively or surgically, and to attempt to answer the question as to whether surgery shortens the duration of the disease and its treatment. Material and methods. We reviewed the clinical records of 61 children with Perthes disease (68 hips) from the years 1990-1994 were reviewed. There were...
متن کاملPerthes’ 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...
