Abstract
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is a reserved term for idiopathic avascular necrosis of the juvenile hip. Currently, its etiology is somewhat uncertain, and it tends to occur more frequently in the pediatric population between 2 years and up to 12 years of age. Among the most frequent symptoms they present are gait disorders and pain at the level of the affected hip. This disease is a diagnosis of exclusion where it is imperative to rule out other etiologies in relation to the symptoms presented by the patient, where the clinic and the physical examination guides the doctor to use the different complementary studies to increase the sensitivity and diagnostic specificity. The approach and treatment of this pathology seeks a way to make an early diagnosis and thus prevent irreversible deformation of the head of the femur, managing to preserve the sphericity of the head of the femur and protecting the segment of the affected epiphysis.
