    Surgical Procedure in Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: A Systematic Review

    Filberto, Istan Irmansyah Irsan, Iwan Sutanto, I Gde Adi Widiastana, Yeni Dwi Anggra Sudarmaji

    ABSTRACT

    Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an adolescent hip disorder characterized by idiopathic osteonecrosis of the
    femoral epiphysis and believed to be associated with arterial infarction. This illness typically affects youngsters,
    specifically those between the ages of 4 and 8. This research seeks to investigate the impact of surgical
    operations on LCPD patients. September 2022 was the month during which we conducted a systematic review
    study. Google Scholar, NCBI, and Science Direct were used to search for articles. We included six publications
    with 208 patients in total. Our data indicate that this surgical approach can lower pain levels, increase femoral head
    coverage, and reduce hip subluxation in LCPD patients.
