Osteochondritis dissecans in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
E Kamhi and GD MacEwen
Seven cases of osteochondritis dissecans following Legg-Calve-Perthes
disease are presented and the literature is reviewed. This complication
could not be predicted during the early stages of the Legg-Calve-Perthes
process. A high index of suspicion is necessary to recognize the lesion.
Conservative treatment is suggested.
