Overview

Retrospective and prospective observational study reports outcomes of various management strategies for LCPD, indicating effectiveness across modalities.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of different management strategies for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD).
  • Retrospective–prospective observational study conducted between January 2018 and May 2025 at a tertiary care center.
  • Included 40 patients (42 hips) aged 3–12 years, with methods tailored according to age, stage, and lateral pillar involvement.
  • Clinical outcomes assessed with Harris Hip Score and radiological outcomes evaluated using various classifications and indices.
  • Mean Harris Hip Scores at healing were 89.7 for conservative care, 90.6 for varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO), and 84.9 for shelf acetabuloplasty.
  • VDRO achieved an average correction of 13° in neck-shaft angle, while shelf acetabuloplasty improved acetabular index from 19.9° to 13.6° and center-edge angle from 18.9° to 30.6°.
  • Stulberg outcomes showed good results (I–II) in 61.8% of cases and poor outcomes (IV–V) in 11.7%.
