概要

論文の詳細を見る
Thirteen cases with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) presented in 3 years were reviewed. The disease appeared to be more frequent in males than in females. The onset of clinical signs including limping on a rear leg was at 6 to 8 months old. Major radiographic findings observed in most cases were widening of the joint space and decreased density of the femoral head and neck, which preceded approximately 1 to 2 months before the onset of clinical signs. The secondary degenerative joint disease appeared to occur 2 months after the onset of clinical signs.
