Effectiveness of therapeutic methods for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease according to staging, limits of conservative treatment: a systematic review with meta-analysis

View through CrossRef
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is known as a self-limiting pediatric orthopedic pathology that affects the hip due to ischemia with consequent aseptic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. This is a systematic literature review carried out in the databases indexed in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) in accordance with the precepts established by the PRISMA methodology (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The aim was to compare the effectiveness of treatment for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease in relation to its staging: the limits of conservative treatment. Conservative treatment was used in four studies, and most patients under the age of 6.5 had Stulberg I and II results. Older patients, between eight and ten years old, had a relatively better classification when they underwent surgical treatment. In this context, the data collected did not show significant variations; however, it was possible to observe that conservative treatment was more effective in this population, while surgical treatment is better recommended at older ages.
