Why the study?
Does surgical intervention improve outcome as assessed by Stulberg or Mose classification at skeletal maturity in children in the active stages of Perthes disease?
Does surgical intervention improve outcome as assessed by Stulberg or Mose classification at skeletal maturity in children in the active stages of Perthes disease?
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review to assess the efficacy of surgical interventions for children with active Perthes disease.
Uncertainty persists on surgical benefit in active Perthes disease; upcoming Cochrane review will assess Stulberg/Mose outcomes at maturity.
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess to what extent does surgical intervention (pelvic osteotomy, femoral osteotomy, shelf acetabular procedure) for children in the active stages of Perthes disease improve outcome as assessed by a Stulberg (Stulberg 1981) or Mose (Mose 1964) classification at skeletal maturity in experimental studies (eg RCT), and controlled observational studies (eg comparative cohort studies and studies using conservative and historical controls).
