Abstract
There are few more enigmatic conditions than Perthes’ disease The aetiology mechanisms and optimal treatments all remain the source of controversy The wide variety of available treatments provides the clearest demonstration of the uncertainty amongst clinicians treating the disease Treatment regimens vary considerably from years of not weight bearing to months of abduction cast treatment to femoral and pelvic surgical procedures to observation alone without any specific intervention The orthopaedic community has little understanding of how treatment influences the natural history of this disease This review considers the best available evidence to formulate an evidencebased approach
