Systematic review demonstrates improved clinical outcomes in sequelae of Perthes disease, suggesting effective treatment options.
Used in conjunction with relative femoral neck lengthening SHD has opened a new treatment means for the correction of deformities resulting from sequelae of Perthes disease. Notable improvements in clinical and functional outcomes can be expected after this procedure. Low rates of postoperative complications and future conversions to total hip arthroplasty were also noted. The results of the review are limited by the non-uniform inclusion of study participants in terms of preoperative grading as well as any occurrence of prior, concomitant or subsequent surgical procedures.
