  • Title: Examination by ultrasound of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
    Author: Suzuki S, Awaya G, Okada Y, Ikeda T, Tada H.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1987 Jul; (220):130-6. PubMed ID: 3297450.
    Abstract:
    Eleven patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCP) were examined ultrasonographically for their femoral head deformity. The outline of the cartilaginous femoral head was well demonstrated, and the image obtained corresponded to that observed by arthrography. Using ultrasonography, a simple method was developed to determine the rate of deformity due to LCP. Ultrasonography does not have the hazards of x-ray and is useful for the diagnosis of LCP.
