Title:
Legg-Perthes Ox Tx?
Text:
Hello everyone,
I am a CPO who sees a large number of pediatric patients. However, I have
not seen any Legg-Perthes cases in at least ten years. A good friend just
had his four year dx with Perthes. He was dx'ed at the Univ of Chicago.
They were told that ox are no longer used in this dx as they did not change
the outcome.
Is this true? Does anyone know of any articles that support the
nonintervention treatment? The docs told them not to do anything. I once fit
quite a few ox for this dx when I was in a Univ practice.
I thank you for your responses.
God Bless,
Don McGovern, CPO
