Results of Early Proximal Femoral Osteotomy at Skeletal Maturity in Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: Implication for the Bypass of Fragmentation Stage

Conclusions: Our results show that 40.5% of patients who underwent early PFO bypassed the fragmentation stage. The degree of lateral pillar collapse was lower in patients with bypass. In addition, there were significantly more patients with more spherical femoral head in the bypass group. Level of Evidence: Level IV—case series.
