INCORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

Panner in (1927) first described this lesion in capitellum and he felt it was similar to Perthe's disease of hip, but we now know that this is almost always a traumatic overuse syndrome. There also may be rare idiopathic cases of osteochondrosis which are similar to Perthes of the hip.
