Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the long-term radiological outcomes of the patients with Perthes disease who were conservatively treated with brace. Patients and methods: Thirty-three hips of 27 skeletally mature patients (21 males, 6 females; mean age 25.2±3.4 years; range 20 to 32 years) treated with modified Thomas splint were included in this study. The results were evaluated according to the Stulberg classification. Results: The mean age of the patients was 6.3±2.2 (range 3-12) years at the onset of the disease and the mean follow-up was 18.6±3.2 (range 7.2-24.1) years. According to onset of the disease, good results were obtained for the patients who were less than six-years-old as 77.7%, between 6-9 years old as 84.2%, after nine years old as 40%. However, 100% of the Herring group A hips, 79.2% of the group B hips and 50% of the group C hips were healed with Stulberg class I or II results. Conclusion: We obtained satisfactory results after conservative treatment with Thomas splint in patients who were between 6-9 years old at onset of the disease with Herring group B involvement. It is hard to say whether the good results were stemmed from having good prognosis of these patients, or stemmed from positive effect of using brace on treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Cihaz kullanılarak konservatif tedavi edilen Perthes hastalarının uzun dönem radyolojik sonuçları değerlendirildi. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Modifiye Thomas splinti kullanılarak tedavi edilen iskelet maturasyonunu tamamlamış 27 hastanın (21 erkek, 6 kız; ort. yaş 25.2±3.4 yıl; dağılım 20-32 yıl) 33 kalçası bu çalışmaya dahil edildi. Sonuçlar Stulberg sınıflamasına göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı hastalığın başlangıcında 6.3±2.2 (dağılım 3-12) yıl, ortalama takip süresi ise 18.6±3.2 (dağılım 7.2-24.1) yıl idi. Hastalığın başlangıcına göre; altı yaş altındaki hastalar için %77.7, 6-9 yaş arasındaki hastalar için %84.2 ve dokuz yaş ve üzerindeki hastalar için %40 iyi sonuç elde edildi. Bununla birlikte, Herring grup A kalçaların %100’ü, grup B kalçaların %79.2’si ve grup C kalçaların ise %50’si Stulberg sınıf I veya II sonuçla iyileşti. Sonuç: Hastalığın başlangıç yaşı 6-9 yaş arasında ve Herring grup B tutulumu olan hastalarda modifiye Thomas splintiyle yapılan konservatif tedavi sonrası memnuniyet verici sonuçlar elde edildi. İyi sonuçların bu hastaların iyi prognoza sahip olmasından mı, yoksa cihaz kullanımının tedavi üzerindeki olumlu etkisinden mi kaynaklandığını söylemek oldukça zordur.
