Abstract

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCP) is a pathology that has been independently defined by Legg, Calvé, Perthes and Waldenström in 1909 and 1990, resulting in a fungal shape of the femoral head. Although its etiology is not known exactly, genetic and environmental factors are thought to be effective. This pathology, which occurs in childhood, is effective throughout the life of the individual and the level of porognosis increases with the advancing age. Its incidence is higher in male individuals. Researchers state that LCP is usually seen unilateral, but rarely bilateral samples are also present. In the study, the effects of LCP on femur and acetebulum, which were detected in the advanced adult female individual belonging to the Byzantine period MTR society, were investigated. The shortening of the femoral neck, the thinning of the femoral body, the narrowing of the femur neck angle, the disappearance of the fovea capitis are obvious morphological changes in the femur due to LCP effect. Additionally, in the coxa, acetabulum is also severely affected, it got narrowed considerably and the femur formed a new surface for itself. Anthropometric measurements taken from the femur and acetabulum support the morphological changes in the femur and acetabulum. However, tarsal, metatarsal and tibia bones of the individual were not affected by the posture and gait disturbance caused by LCP. LCP is very rare in ancient populations. This situation is also valid for ancient Anatolian populations. This study is important in terms of contributing to the literature about ancient Anatolian populations.

Özet

Legg-Calvé-Perthes hastalığı (LCP) 1909 ve 1990 yıllarında Legg, Calvé, Perthes ve Waldenström tarafından bağımsız olarak tanımlanan ve femur başının mantar şeklini almasıyla sonuçlanan patolojidir. Etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin etkili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Çocukluk yıllarında ortaya çıkan bu patoloji bireyin yaşamı boyunca etkili olmakta ve ilerleyen yaşla birlikte porognoz seviyesi artmaktadır. Görülme sıklığı erkek bireylerde daha fazladır. Araştırmacılar, LCP’nin genellikle unilateral görüldüğünü ancak nadiren de olsa bilateral örneklerin de olduğunu belirtmektedir. Çalışmada, Bizans dönemi MTR toplumuna ait ileri erişkin kadın bireyde tespit edilen LCP’nin femur ve asetabulum üzerinde bırakmış olduğu etkiler araştırılmıştır. Bireyin sol femurunda görülen bu patoloji femur başı ve asetabulumda ileri derecede osteofit oluşumlarına neden olmuştur. Femur boynunun kısalması, femur gövdesinin incelmesi, gövde boyun açısının daralması, fovea capitisin yok olması LCP etkisiyle femurda meydana gelen bariz morfolojik değişikliklerdir. Ayrıca coxada asetabulum da ileri derecede etkilenmiş, oldukça daralmış ve femur kendisine yeni bir yüzey oluşturmuştur. Femur ve asetabulumdan alınan osteometrik ölçümler femur ve asetabulumdaki morfolojik değişikliği desteklemektedir. Ancak bireyin ayak bilek kemikleri ile tibia kemikleri LCP’den kaynaklanan duruş ve yürüme bozukluğundan etkilenmemiştir. LCP Antik Dönem toplumlarında oldukça nadir görülmektedir. Bu durum Antik Anadolu toplumları için de geçerlidir. Bu çalışma Antik Anadolu toplumları ile ilgili literatüre katkı sağlaması açısından önemlidir.
