    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Angiography reveals reduced blood flow and specific artery issues in Perthes' disease hips. These findings suggest poor blood supply, guiding surgical treatment for ischemic epiphysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Pediatric Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Perthes' disease is a hip condition affecting children.
    • Understanding its vascular basis is crucial for treatment.
    • Previous studies have suggested vascular compromise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of angiography in diagnosing Perthes' disease.
    • To identify key angiographic findings associated with the condition.
    • To correlate angiographic results with treatment indications.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed angiography in 30 patients with Perthes' disease.
    • Included aortography and selective angiography.
    • Analyzed major and minor blood vessels in the hip.

    Main Results:

    • Observed decreased blood flow in affected hips.
    • Noted absence or atrophy of the medial circumflex artery.
    • Identified vessel distention in subluxations and obturator artery absence.
    • Found no sex-based differences in hip circulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Angiography highlights deficient blood supply and ischemic epiphysis in Perthes' disease.
    • Specific findings like medial circumflex artery issues are significant.
    • Surgical intervention is recommended for progressing cases with vessel distention and necrosis.
