Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the medial joint space in hips affected by Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) compared to healthy hips, using 127 X-rays from patients with unilateral LCPD.
- Results indicated that while there were no significant differences in medial space coefficient (MSC) between affected and normal hips, the medial joint distance was greater in affected hips, especially during the necrosis and fragmentation phase.
- The findings suggest that relying solely on X-ray imaging for diagnosing LCPD is inadequate, as it can lead to delayed treatment; additional imaging tests, like MRI, are recommended for accurate diagnosis.
