May inform Legg-Calve-Perthes prognostication; leaves open prospective validation before changing practice.
This review summarizes the demographic, clinical, and radiologic prognostic factors of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, highlighting the importance of radiologic signs like femoral capital epiphysis involvement.
Cheng et al. (2011) conducted a review in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Prognostic factors was evaluated. Important radiologic prognostic signs for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease include the extent of femoral capital epiphysis involvement, metaphyseal changes, and lateral subluxation of the femoral head.
