Legg–Calvé–Perthes
Disease
It
is an infantile hip complaint started by a disturbance of blood flow to the ball
of the femur called the femoral head.
Symptoms
Common
symptoms comprise knee (hip pathology can refer pain to a normal knee), hip or
groin pain, exacerbated by leg/hip movement, particularly interior hip rotation
(twisting the leg toward the center of the body).
Diagnosis
X-Rays
of the hip may proposer confirm the diagnosis. X-rays typically prove a
compressed, and later disjointed, femoral head.
Treatment
The
goalmouths of cure are to reducing pain, decrease the loss of hip motion, and
stop or minimalism enduring femoral head malformation so that the risk of
emerging a plain wasting stiffness as adult can be abridged.
