Retroversion of the contralateral adult acetabulum after previous Perthes' disease.

چکیده
Retroversion of the adult acetabulum following a previous Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is found in 30-40% of the patients. It is known that in LCPD there may also be morphologic changes in the nonaffected controlateral acetabulum. We investigated the prevalence of retroversion of the contralateral acetabulum in a group of adult patients with a history of LCPD. We found this morphology in 11 out of 36 patients (31%). The aetiology and its relation to Perthes' disease are discussed.

Evolution in diagnosis and treatment of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with variable complications and resultant deformity of the femoral head and osteoarthritis. Suggested risk factors are acetabular retroversion, obesity, latitude, hyperactivity, and coagulopathy. The most commonly applied classification is based on radiolucency in the lateral pillar of the femoral head, which i...
متن کاملHip deformity in symptomatic adult Perthes' disease.
Only a limited number of patients that suffered from Legg-Calvé-Perthes' disease (LCPD) develop pain in early adulthood. Classical hinged abduction is well known and is thought to be responsible for secondary lateral insufficiency of the acetabulum, which may become painful. Another possible explanation, which was put forward more recently, is anterior femoroacetabular impingement. We collected...
متن کاملThe use of computerised tomography in dislocation of the hip and femoral neck anteversion in children.
Computerised tomography is useful in the diagnosis of abnormalities of the hip in children, particularly in assessing the size and shape of the acetabulum, the position and congruity of the femoral head relative to the acetabulum, and the degree of femoral anteversion or retroversion. It is most useful when limited hip movement and previous operations preclude adequate clinical examination and ...

متن کاملRadiological remodelling of the acetabulum in Perthes' disease.
Thirty-four patients were studied throughout the evolution of Perthes' disease. The acetabular changes included osteopoenia of the roof, irregularity of its contour, and decrease in its depth. These changes were proportional to the femoral head involvement. The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of the morphological changes of the femoral head on the acetabulum and the outcome, and t...
