Advanced MR Imaging of Perthes Disease to Improve Treatment
EF 2018-19
Résumé
Perthes' disease is a disease of the hip in children. The main aim of treating this condition is to minimize harmful deformities of the hip that will last a lifetime. In Aim 1 we will determine if there is a better way to decide on surgery for Perthes', and if children with Perthes' should be advised to avoid weightbearing. We will do this by taking images of the hip in standing using a special "upright" MRI scanner and comparing them to images taken lying down and with regular x-rays. In Aim 2 we will assess whether, in hips with Perthes' disease, there is contact between the bones of the hip in some hip postures, and whether the hip cartilage has started to degenerate. This will help us to understand how important those deformities are to the hip's long-term health.
