Morbus Perthes (LCP) is an idiopathic defect in the blood flow of the proximal femoral epiphysis, where morphological and functional pathologies of the hip joint occur. Unfavorable prognostic factors include aspheric and incongruent hip, often manifested by the appearance of hinge abduction. The head is no longer remodeling after "golden" period of remodellation. Anteromedial Wedge Reduction Osteotomy (AWRO) is a new surgical method to improve the shape and reduce the femoral head and thus extend the life of a significantly altered hip joint. We evaluated 10 patients after the AWRO and established 3 hypotheses, in the clinical part of the study. 1st hypothesis "AWRO leads to the reshape of the head" was confirmed following the Stulberg's classification. 2nd hypothesis "AWRO leads to a reduction in the mediolateral diameter of the head", was confirmed by measuring the capitodiaphyseal index, which was reduced in all femoral heads after AWRO. The 3rd hypothesis "Harris Hip Score improved in medium-term follow up... |
