    Abstract:
    Legg-Perthes-Calvé disease is a local disease which should be treated by non-iatrogenic means. The authors have designed a new ambulatory orthosis allowing containment in abduction, flexion and medial rotation, with relief of weight-bearing on the femoral head. It was tested in thirty six hips. In only eight of them a surgical procedure had to be performed during the evolution of the disease (femoral or pelvic osteotomy) because of secondary exenteration of the hip.
