Abstract:
In Perthes' disease the necessity of any treatment and its management has to be considered carefully. Good results are reported after treatment with various splints as well as after surgery. According to Imhäuser we prefer a position for the hip joint in the splint in 30 degrees flexion, abduction and external rotation respectively. In this position the lowest intraarticular pressure was measured. If deterioration of the containment develops while using a splint, we recommend surgical treatment.
