Gageʼs Sign—Revisited!

Abstract

This article describes the use of the eponym "Gage's sign," one of the "at-risk" signs in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, described by Catterall in 1971. Catterall's description of this radiographic finding differs from the radiographic finding described by Gage in 1933. Thus, what we have come to call Gage's sign would be more appropriately called "Catterall's sign."
