Conservative Treatment of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease

JACOB F. KATZ M.D.1

1 From The Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York City, and Blythedale Children's Hospital, Valhalla

Abduction-brace support with non-weight-bearing appears to have an advantage over treatment in bilateral shoe traction. Prognosis is most favorable in the younger age group and does not seem to be related to the duration of symptoms at the time of diagnosis or to the duration of therapy.
