Abstract

The absence of a reliable classification system for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease has contributed to difficulty in establishing consistent management strategies and in interpreting outcome studies. The purpose of this study was to assess interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the modified Waldenström classification system among a large and diverse group of pediatric orthopaedic surgeons.
