Perthes’ Disease: A Review Of Contributions From The Asia-Pacific Region
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Despite extensive research on Perthes disease, its aetiology remains unknown and its treatment guidelines are still tentative. This highlights the need for more concerted, multicentre evidence-based research in order to delineate optimal treatment for this fascinating condition. It is hoped that orthopaedic surgeons in the Asia-Pacific region will lead the way in this effort.
