Abstract:
Partial capital resection (cheilectomy, partial capitectomy, excision of a lip) has gained an accepted place in treating the Legg-Calve-Perthes disease with severely malformed femoral head in which containment surgery has rarely been successful. The clinical experiences in six children aged over 10 years who complained marked limitation of hip motion with severe collapse and subluxation of femoral head are presented. Postoperative results including clinical and radiological findings are quite promising.
