BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy of arthrodiastasis for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. METHODS Arthrodiastasis was conducted using external fixator devices (Orthofix) in 7 patients at least 8 years of age with a diagnosis of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. The average follow-up was 80 months (range, 32 to 149 months), and their average age was 9.1 years (range, 8 to 12 years). The results of trea...
