The
International Perthes Study Group (IPSG) is a group of more than 40 pediatric orthopedic surgeons and researchers from across the country with the common goal of advancing knowledge and care of patients with Perthes disease. IPSG is a multicenter prospective cohort study consisting of 40 participating institutions comparing the outcome of current treatment of Perthes disease between three age groups (6 to 8 years, 8 to 11 years or more than 11 years old). The purpose of this study is to help orthopedic surgeons better understand and treat patients with Perthes disease. The ongoing study has established a database of prospective identified patients with Perthes disease and has collected information regarding their presentation, treatment and outcomes in the course of receiving currently available treatments.
The purpose of this study is to better understand the radiographic, clinical and functional outcomes of adolescents and young adults treated with hip preservation surgery. Our investigators are also collaborators on the ANCHOR Multicenter Study (Academic Network for Conservational Hip Outcomes Research).
- To evaluate the pre- and postoperative function and outcome of pediatric and adolescent patients with hip pathology who will be undergoing surgical intervention
- To evaluate the functional and radiographic outcomes of patients who have previously received surgical treatment for hip pathology on the pediatric and adolescent patients
- Adolescents/young adults undergoing hip preservation surgery for various hip conditions
