The epiphyseal perichondrium is calcified during the rachitic healing process and visible radiologically as 'a head within a head' around the proximal femoral epiphysis in young children. Seen in isolation, these radiographs can pose diagnostic dilemmas.

Twenty one patients with a delayed diagnosis of congenital dislocation of the hip were studied to assess the relevance of radiographic changes in the ossific nucleus of the proximal femur during the first year following treatment. All abnormal hips demonstrated sclerosis of the margins of the ossific nucleus with irregularity of its surface at three months following surgery. In nineteen patients a head within a head was identified.

Seventy-six puppies were divided into three groups according to frequency and time intervals of casting; in group A the animals were cast once, in group B cast twice with one week interval between the 1st and 2nd casting and in group C cast twice as group B but with four-week interval. Radiological, pathohistological changes and RI uptake in the capital femoral epiphysis were sequentially studied at certain intervals (1, 3, 5, 9, 15 and 20 weeks after the 1st casting).
