The outcomes of non-surgically managed Perthes’ disease
These findings confirm that non-surgical management should be advised in children in whom the diagnosis of PD is made before the age of six years. However, the prognosis for those in whom the diagnosis is made after this age, with a Herring group B and above, was poor when compared with the findings reported in other studies. Further research should investigate the role of early containment surgery versus early primary total hip arthroplasty in patients with late-onset PD.
