Catterall attempted to improve the predictive value of early radiographic changes in Perthes disease by identifying four radiologic signs that indicated a capital femoral epiphysis at risk for collapse. These findings are(1) Gage's sign(a small, osteoporotic segment that forms a transradiant V on the lateral side of the epiphysis) ;(2) calcification lateral to the epiphysis;(3) lateral subluxation of the femoral head; and(4) a transverse epiphyseal line. Murphy and Marsh found that these four head at risk signs and a fifth, diffuse metaphyseal reaction, correlated better with a poor radiologic result than did the degree of epiphyseal involvement.

Signes permettant d'évaluer les risques d'un affaissement du noyau céphalique dans l'ostéochondrite primitive de la hanche, pouvant conduire éventuellement à une coxarthrose. Ces signes, au nombre de cinq, sont : le signe de Gage ou image radiotransparente épiphysaire externe; des calcifications externes ou petites opacités situées à la partie externe de l'épiphyse; une " subluxation " de la tête; une horizontalisation de la physe; une réaction périostée métaphysaire importante.
