[Changes in the juvenile pelvis in congenital systemic diseases of the skeleton (author's transl)]

Constitutional disorders of the skeleton show a characteristic appearance in the radiogram of the juvenile pelvis. These radiologic changes are presented in tables and are discussed demonstrating individual cases. Because of the limited reactive possibility of the skeleton not every disorder shows a typical feature of differential diagnosis and radiologic pattern. To differentiate from the congenital dysplasia of the hip and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease the distribution of the skeletal disorders and their course therefore have to be known. Accordingly the therapeutic consequences have to be drawn. In this purpose the radiologic diagnostics of the juvenile pelvis are of significant value.
