THE TREATMENT OF LEGG-CALVÉ-PERTHES DISEASE WITHOUT WEIGHT-BEARING

MURRAY S. DANFORTH M.D.

Cases 1, 2, and 3 illustrate the course and early results in patients treated without apparatus but without weight-bearing. Cases 4 and 5 show the late results of treatment without weight-bearing but with an ambulatory traction splint or with crutches and a high sole. After ten years no deformity had developed. Case 6 illustrates the result where, in spite of directions to the contrary, weight was borne almost constantly.

The illustrations present a plea for non-weight-bearing in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease until the bone structure has become normal.
