Management of Patients With Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease at a Single Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic pediatric hip disorder associated with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Although there is no standardized and optimal treatment protocol for patients with LCPD, there are three primary treatment strategies: symptomatic treatment, nonsurgical containment using orthotic devices, and surgical containment.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the demographic characteristics, management and outcome of pediatric patients with LCPD at our center between 2005 and 2015.
