May support symptom relief in Perthes' disease; leaves open need for controlled trials on remodeling.
Observational (n=21)
Does valgus femoral osteotomy improve symptoms, function, and hip remodeling in patients with Perthes' disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 92% vs 66%
Valgus femoral osteotomy with rotational and sagittal correction improves clinical symptoms and radiological remodeling in patients with Perthes' disease.
Yoo et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Perthes' disease (n=21). Valgus femoral osteotomy with rotational and sagittal correction vs. Pre-operative baseline was evaluated on IOWA hip score. Valgus femoral osteotomy with rotational and sagittal correction improved the mean IOWA hip score from 66 before surgery to 92 at a mean follow-up of 7.1 years in patients with Perthes' disease.
