Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, also called Perthes disease, is a childhood condition that usually occurs between the ages of 4 and 10 and affects the hip region where the bones attach to the head of the leg bone, known as the femur. In this disease, the head of the femur does not receive the necessary amount of blood and, therefore, the bone begins to die, causing a constant pain in the place and increasing the risk of fractures, even when a blow has not been struck.
