Pain or stiffness in the hip, groin, thigh or knee. Limited range of motion of the hip joint. Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest. Legg-Calve-Perthes disease usually involves just one hip. Both hips are affected in some children, usually at different times. Management of Perthes' disease. The main complication of Perthes' disease is femoral head deformation. Evidence from the literature highlights two important factors related to the cause and timing of this complication. (1) Extrusion of the femoral head appears to be a major factor that leads to femoral head deformation. Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the proximal femoral epiphysis in children. Diagnosis can be suspected with hip radiographs. MRI may be required for diagnosis of occult or early disease. Treatment is typically observation in children less than 8 years of age, and femoral and/or pelvic osteotomy in children TOP 5% US EDUCATOR expert. Sara L. Edwards, MD.
