• Boy:girl 1.43:1
• 40% bilateral
• >60% of SCFE patients are >90th %ile for weight
– Atypical body habitus should raise suspicion for potential
endocrine abnormality
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Etiology
• Unknown
• Associated with:
– Mechanical abnormalities
– Endocrine abnormalities
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Clinical history

– Sometimes absent
• Limp
– External rotation of foot
– Difficulty sitting
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Physical examination
• Typically overweight and
early puberty
• Trendelenburg gait
• External rotation of limb
• Limited hip motion
– Obligate external rotation
with flexion (Drehmann’s sign)

• Kocher (Pediatrics 2004) • Green (HSSJ 2005)
– 196 patients
– Average delay 8 weeks
– Slip severity
– 102 patients
– Average time from 1st
primary care visit to
ortho clinic 76 days
– 52% of primary visits for
hip, groin, knee or thigh
pain in obese children
did not lead to SCFE
diagnosis or referral
• <30° - 10 weeks
• 30-50° - 14.4 weeks
• >50° - 20.6 weeks
– Distal thigh/knee pain
– Medicaid

PCP Treatment of SCFE
Make the correct diagnosis
• Urgent orthopaedic referral
– If known diagnosis then
typically sent to hospital for
admission
• Reduced weight bearing
– Wheelchair
– Crutches
• Stable slips can become
unstable slips with increased
risk of AVN and
impingement
• High index of suspicion in
obese patients with “normal”
radiographs
– Pre-slip
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Orthopaedic
Treatment
• Screw fixation
– In-situ
– Manipulative reduction
• Head repositioning
• Osteotomy

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease
www.perthesdisease.org
http://www.childrensortho.com/l
egg-calve-perthes-diseasechildrens-orthopaedicsatlanta.html
Perthes
• Self-limited avascular
necrosis affecting the
femoral head
• Unknown etiology
• Interruption of blood
supply to femoral head
→ Bone necrosis →
collapse → repair
– Perhaps due to repetitive
injuries over time
– Mechanical kinking of
vessels?
– Environmental factors?
– Role of coagulopathies?
• Higher incidence in
hypercoagulable patients
– e.g., Protein S
deficiency, factor V
Leiden
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Perthes
• Common between ages 4 and 8 years
– Can occur between 2 and 12
• 4-5x more common in boys
• Bilateral in 10-15%
– Typically at different stages
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Perthes
• Pain is usually not severe
– Groin, thigh or knee
• Limp is typical reason for medical attention
• Muscle atrophy noted if chronic
• Delayed bone age and short stature
– 90% of children with Perthes
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Perthes
• Limited hip rotation (internal) & abduction
– Early on due to spasm, synovitis
– Later due to bony impingement
• Positive Trendelenburg sign and/or gait
– Weak hip Abductors
• Leg length discrepancy
– Apparent
• Adduction contracture
– True
• Femoral head flattening
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Imaging
• X-ray
Increased joint space
Sclerotic epiphysis
Decreased height
Adduction
Subluxation
• MRI
– If radiographs are normal and clinical suspicion
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Prognostic factors
• Age at onset of symptoms
– Under 6 generally do well
– Over 8 typically have long term problems without treatment
• Maybe even with treatment
Unfortunately we have no control
over these factors
• Head involvement
– <50% involved more favorable
– MRI helpful to determine involvement earlier than x-ray
• ROM
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
4 phases of Perthes disease
• Initial
– Synovitis, no bony changes, cartilage space widens, MRI useful
• Fragmentation
– Epiphysis shows “crescent sign” with subchondral fracture
• Re-ossification
– Resolution of synovitis
• 1st 3 phases can last 18-24 months
• Healing
– Can continue until skeletal maturity

Summary
Hip Pain
• Hip pathology is common
– FAI and DDH may have very subtle findings
• Most adult hip arthritis is secondary to anatomic
abnormalities present in childhood and adolescence
• Making the correct diagnosis in a timely fashion can
influence outcome
– SCFE
– Perthes
– DDH, FAI
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Key exam points
• Log rolling
• Heel tap
• Impingement test
– Flexion, adduction, internal rotation
• ROM
– Internal rotation and abduction
• Point tenderness over bony prominence
