Legg-Perthes disease in children less than four years old
TE Clarke, TL Finnegan, RL Fisher, WH Bunch and HR Gossling
In children with Legg-Perthes disease who were less than four years old,
better results were seen after treatment by recumbency and abduction
bracing than with no treatment. All results were better in children having
mild epiphyseal involvement (Catterall Groups I and II) than in those with
more extensive disease.
