Abstract: To establioh rabbit model of Perthes disease and study its radiological appear-ance. A rabbit model was developed by new type of operative methods after the ligmen-tum teres was divided and retinacular blood suplies of femoral head were resected.The model was evaluated by X-ray, MRI and pathological examination.The results showed that the model has some characteristics similar to human Perthes disease. Therefor,the rabbit model of Perthes disease made by this operative method could successfully replicate the basic appearance of Perthes disease.
