More Information
Summary:Premature closure of the growth plate of the femoral capital epiphysis associated with limitation of abduction and gluteal insufficiency is described. The indications for trochanteric advancement and the results obtained in the late treatment of Perthes' disease and of congenital dislocation are discussed. Nine hips treated after Perthes' disease had satisfactory results, in that all were improved; but in eight hips with deformity arising from congenital dislocation the outcome was less favourable.
