Does the new pogo-stick brace improve radiographic outcomes in patients with unilateral Legg-Calvé-Perthes' disease?
The new pogo-stick brace yielded good or fair radiographic outcomes in 85% of patients with unilateral Legg-Calvé-Perthes' disease at long-term follow-up.
Kim et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Legg-Calvé-Perthes' disease (n=20). New pogo-stick brace was evaluated on Total radiographic evaluation (good and fair groups).
