Legg-Calve-Perthes disease occurs when too little blood is supplied to the ball portion of the hip joint (femoral head). Without enough blood, this bone becomes weak and fractures easily. The cause of the temporary reduction in blood flow to the femoral head remains unknown. Risk factors. Risk factors for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease include: Age such as septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Typically, the pain is anterior, dull, nonradiating, and does not localize to bone or Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) are two common pediatric hip disorders that affect the 3-dimensional shape and function of the proximal femur.

This ball is called the femoral head which sits on top of the thigh bone called femur. The femoral head is normally round and fits inside the round socket of the pelvis, called the acetabulum Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a condition in which the blood supply of the femoral head epiphysis is disrupted, resulting in epiphyseal osteonecrosis and chondronecrosis with cessation of growth of the ossific nucleus.

Although the modified Dunn procedure continues to be considered useful for unstable hips, caution has been recommended when it is used for stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis because of a higher rate of osteonecrosis 44, 45. Legg-Calvé-Perthes Diseas Bony abnormalities in either the femoral head or the acetabulum (hip socket) can result in hip pain and cartilage injury, which leads to osteoarthrosis. These bony deformities are often the result of childhood hip disorders such as developmental dysplasia (hip dysplasia), Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease , or slipped capital femoral epiphysis

Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCP) Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a relatively rare childhood hip condition that affects children ages 4 to 8 years. The condition occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head (ball) is disrupted for unknown reasons. This causes the bone cells in the femoral head to die in a process known as avascular. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is an osteochondrosis that involves idiopathic aseptic necrosis of the femoral capital epiphysis. Diagnosis is clinical; x-rays are usually done. Treatment includes bed rest and immobilization. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease has a maximum incidence at age 5 to 10 years, is more common among boys, and is usually unilateral Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) typically occurs in young adolescents during the growth spurt, when the femoral head is displaced posteriorly through the growth plate. Transient synovitis or Legg-Calvé-Perthes will go down on the differential based on patient's age alone. Muscle strain is a possibility - Look for hx of trauma
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic juvenile avascular necrosis of the femoral head in a skeletally immature patient, i.e. children. Legg-Calvé and Perthes discovered this disease approximately 100 years ago. The disease affects children from ages of two to fourteen Summary. Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD, or Perthes disease) refers to an idiopathic, avascular necrosis of the femoral head.It may occur unilaterally or bilaterally and typically manifests between the ages of four and ten. Children experience hip pain on weight-bearing, which often projects to the ipsilateral knee and causes an antalgic gait.Early stages are only detectable on MRI but.
Patients with Legg-Calve-Perthes is at risk for developing early osteoarthritis (OA) and femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). Differential Diagnosis : developmental dysplasia hip (DDH) - In DDH, the acetabulum is shallow. slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) - In SCFE, femoral head slips medially & posteriorly with a normal acetabulum. Summary. Slipped capital femo ral ep iphysis (SCFE) refers to the posterior and inferior displacement of the femoral head in relation to the femoral neck at the proximal femoral growth plate.It occurs most commonly in adolescent males. While the etiology is not entirely understood, multiple risk factors such as obesity and endocrine disorders have been identified Avascular necrosis of femoral head. Capital femoral epiphysis fails to grow because of lack of blood supply; Affects children 4-9yr old; Male:female 4:1; Bilateral in 10%; Clinical Features. Insidious onset of mild hip pain and limp.
