A
The major concern related to Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is to prevent an arthritic process resulting from the flattening of the femoral head of the femur when it protrudes outside the acetabulum. The pain associated with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease decreases with increased rest, making activity restriction an important factor for these children. The priority concern for treatment is to prevent deformity through decreased activity. Selected hobbies that do not require physical activity are encouraged.
