Femoral osteotomy to improve range of motion in residual deformity of perthes disease: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The treatment strategies for residual deformity of Perthes disease are not established.

Case presentation

This is a case report of a 15-year-old boy. He developed right Perthes disease (lateral pillar classification group B) when he was 10 years old and underwent varus femoral osteotomy of the right side. At 12 years of age, he developed left Perthes disease (lateral pillar classification group B) and underwent varus femoral osteotomy of the left side. Postoperatively, he was treated with partial weight bearing of the left leg with crutches. At 15 years, range of motion (ROM) of his left hip was markedly limited at 30° flexion, 10° abduction, 70° external rotation, and -20° internal rotation, and he was having difficulty maintaining a sitting position.
