Background: Perthes disease presents a challenge in orthopedic management, often necessitating surgical intervention such as arthroplasty. This meta-analysis systematically evaluated the rate of occurrence and complications associated with arthroplasty in Perthes disease.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies evaluating arthroplasty outcomes in patients with Perthes disease. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Results were synthesized using random effects models, and heterogeneity was assessed using I statistics. Twenty-eight observational studies were included with a total of 1737 patients, reporting moderate heterogeneity.

Results: We found that the incidence of arthroplasty among the 18 studies included in the meta-analysis was 7 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.045-0.95, I = 58 %). Complications following arthroplasty were significant with an incidence of 22.9 % among 283 patients. In summary, an analysis of 30 observational studies found a 7 % incidence of arthroplasty with complications following surgery affecting nearly 23 % of patients.

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that arthroplasty is a relatively uncommon procedure for Perthes disease management. Complications following arthroplasty are a significant concern, affecting nearly one-quarter of patients. Although the use of arthroplasty in Perthes is uncommon, the rate of complications has raised concerns, indicating its use is relatively unsafe. Therefore, in patients with Perthes disease who undergo arthroplasty, attention should be given to the risk of complications, and preventive measures need to be investigated to overcome this risk.

Type Of Study: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Level Of Evidence: II.

Background: Proximal femoral varus osteotomy (PFVO) is commonly performed to improve femoral head containment and decrease deformity in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD). Little is known about how PFVO impacts the quality of life after surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the longitudinal changes to patient-reported physical, mental, and social health measures after PFVO.

: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is characterized by idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children. There are several hypotheses regarding the cause of LCPD; however, the exact cause remains unclear. Studies on comorbidities can provide better insight into the disease.

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a condition marked by temporary blood flow disruption to the proximal femur, commonly afflicting children aged 15 and younger. The etiology of the disease is often idiopathic and involves the development of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, subsequently leading to bone weakening and deformity. Obesity exacerbates LCPD, correlating with delayed diagnosis, increased disease severity, and bilateral involvement.

Aims: We evaluated the national and regional trends from 2013 to 2022, in the prevalence of Perthes' disease among adolescent males in South Korea.

Methods: This retrospective, nationwide, population-based study included a total of 3,166,669 Korean adolescent males examined at regional Military Manpower Administration (MMA) offices over ten years. Data from the MMA were retrospectively collected to measure the national and regional prevalence per 100,000 and 95% CI of Perthes' disease according to the year (1 January 2013 to 31 December 2022) and history of pelvic and/or femoral osteotomy in South Korea.
