SEVERE FORMS (CATTERALL 4, HERRING B OR C, SALTER B) IN LEGG-PERTHES-CALVÉ DISEASE: RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF 96 HIPS AT THE END OF GROWTH



Abstract

Poor results increase in older patients. After Orthopaedic treatment 60% of hips in children with LPC Disease appearing before the age of 6 find again its sphericity (Stulberg 1 or 2). About 30 % of hips in children with LCP Disease appearing between 6 and 9 years of age became “normal” (Stulberg 1 or 2) at the end of growth/Only 1 hip out of 10, in the oldest group of children (over 9 years), became spherical at the end of growth. Surgery increases the percentage of good results in all groups of patients.
