The three-dimensional anatomy of the proximal femur in Perthes' disease

FR Howell, RJ Newman, HL Wang, AB Nevelos, and RA Dickson

St. James's Hospital, Leeds, England.

A new method of recording the three-dimensional anatomy of the proximal femur from a single anteroposterior radiograph is described. This technique shows that in Perthes' disease the femoral head and neck are in significant anteversion and true varus. This anatomical configuration may be important in the pathogenesis and treatment of this disorder.
