  • Title: Osteochondritis dissecans in Perthes' disease. Report of 7 cases.
    Author: Rowe SM, Kim HS, Yoon TR.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1989 Oct; 60(5):545-7. PubMed ID: 2603654.
    Abstract:
    We report 7 cases of osteochondritis dissecans following Perthes' disease in 363 hips, i.e., an incidence of 2 percent. Six of the 7 cases belonged to Salter group B (Catterall Groups III-IV), indicating a higher incidence in hips with a worse prognosis. Six cases were asymptomatic and did not require treatment; in 3 of these, there was spontaneous radiographic healing of the lesion.
