Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease

A rare disorder characterized by uni- or bilateral avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head in children.

Coxa vara

Coxa vara includes all forms of decrease of the femoral neck shaft angle (the angle between the neck and the shaft of the femur) to less than 120 degrees.

In contrast, the role of this technique in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple childhood hip conditions including pyarthrosis, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, coxa vara, juvenile chronic arthritis, chondrolysis, and avascular necrosis is well described.

We studied six patients with severe femoral head deformity treated surgically by valgus-flexion-internal-rotation femoral osteotomy plus simultaneous acetabuloplasty based on the concept of "functional retroversion" and "functional coxa vara" of the deformed femoral head in late severe Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and epiphyseal dysplasia.
