AI Article Synopsis
- A study found a strong link between the size of radioactive uptake defects in bone images and treatment outcomes (Mose) in children with early Legg-Perthes disease.
- Researchers also noticed a correlation between these defects and established prognostic indicators like the Catterall classification and the extent of subchondral fissures in some cases.
- Bone imaging is advised for kids suspected of having Legg-Perthes to confirm the diagnosis, evaluate disease progression, and predict the prognosis.
Article Abstract
A significant association was observed between the size of the radioactive uptake defect on bone image and the end-result (Mose) in 34 hips of children with early Legg-Perthes disease. A correlation between the size of the bone-image defect and radiographic prognostic criteria, Catterall classification and extent of subchondral fissure was also observed in 27 early Legg-Perthes cases. Bone imaging is recommended for suspected Legg-Perthes patients, not only to establish the diagnosis but to assess the stage of disease and to determine prognosis.
