Four electronic databases (Scopus, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Embase) were searched with articles included if clinical and radiological assessments were conducted on more than 10 participants, aged 0 to &lt;18\u2009years with Legg\u2013Calv\u00e9\u2013Perthes disease post 2004.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 9145 records, 32 studies were included, identifying 16 clinical assessments, 23 radiological assessments, 10 diagnostic classifications and 22 outcome measures.

When coupled with limited use of validated paediatric measures, this inconsistency complicates clinical decision-making, reduces consistency in patient care and prevents comparability across studies. Establishing expert consensus to determine the most appropriate, accurate and child-specific measures is needed to enhance consistency in patient care, enable more robust outcome reporting and strengthen future research in Perthes disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance of study:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significant variation in diagnostic, assessment and outcome measures for Perthes disease underscores the need for validated, child-specific tools to improve clinical decision-making, facilitate comparability across studies and strengthen future research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level III, scoping review<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/18632521261432861","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,25]],"date-time":"2026-03-25T06:04:25Z","timestamp":1774418665000},"page":"247-255","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Variation in assessment, diagnosis and outcome measurement in Perthes disease: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-3348-5251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stephanie","family":"Ball","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Nursing, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9422-1004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rhianydd","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Nursing, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9688-0828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luke M.","family":"Davies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Nursing, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"School of Primary and Allied Health Care, Monash University, Frankston, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Gray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Nursing, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9451-4456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Orthopaedic and Trauma Research, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital, North Adelaide, SA, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5898-5808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Craig F.","family":"Munns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine &amp; Children Health Research Centre, The University of Queensland, Herston, QLD, Australia"},{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Queensland Children\u2019s Hospital, South Brisbane, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5577-2732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Verity","family":"Pacey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Nursing, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-201011000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","first-page":"504393","article-title":"The epidemiology and demographics of Legg-Calv\u00e9-Perthes\u2032 disease","volume":"2011","author":"Loder RT","year":"2011","unstructured":"Loder RT, Skopelja EN.
