Study Notes
Stulberg Classification System for Perthes at Skeletal Maturity
-
Stulberg 1:
- Represents a normal spherical femoral head.
- Characterized by spherical congruency with no osteoarthritis (OA) development.
-
Stulberg 2:
- Indicates a spherical head but may have associated conditions like coxa magna or coxa breva.
- Possesses a steep acetabulum with maintained spherical congruency.
-
Stulberg 3:
- Features a non-spherical femoral head.
- Associated with aspherical congruency, leading to the potential for osteoarthritis in late adulthood.
-
Stulberg 4:
- Identified by a flat femoral head and flat acetabulum.
- Also demonstrates aspherical congruency, signifying risk for osteoarthritis during late adulthood.
-
Stulberg 5:
- Characterized by aspherical incongruence in the hip joint.
- Indicates a higher likelihood of developing osteoarthritis before the age of 50.
