ResumoSUMMARY Sever’s disease: importance of the radiographic diagnosis The authors evaluate the importance of a radiographic study in cases of Sever’s disease. Fifty radiographs of the feet of patients who were clinically diagnosed for osteochondritis of the posterior apophysis of the calcaneum (Sever’s disease) were compared to fifty radiographs of asymptomatic individuals. Both groups were paired for age and sex. Randomly distributed, the radiographs were analyzed by three different specialists (an orthopedic doctor specialized in foot medicine and surgery, a general orthopedist, and a radiologist specialized in locomotor system image diagnosis). The three stated their opinions about the presence or absence of disease in each image. A statistical test (Kappa) was applied to the data and the result was a marginal reproducibility (low) of the diagnosis based solely on the radiological findings. Comparing the occurrence of classical radiological signals of the disease between patients and the healthy children of the work of Prado Jr. et al. (7),
