Osteochondritis dissecans in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease
Abstract:
Seven cases of osteochondritis dissecans following Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease are presented and the literature is reviewed. This complication could not be predicted during the early stages of the Legg-Calvé-Perthes process. A high index of suspicion is necessary to recognize the lesion. Conservative treatment is suggested.
