Radiographic results of combined Salter innominate and femoral osteotomy in Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease in older children

摘要

Purpose Treatment of Legg–Calvé-Perthes disease in older children with greater involvement of the femoral head remains uncertain. Innominate, femoral or combined innominate and femoral osteotomies are generally performed to better contain and provide more coverage of the femoral head by the acetabulum with the objective of achieving a more spherical head and a congruent joint. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the radiographic outcomes of simultaneous femoral and pelvic osteotomies.
