Abstract:
Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis that occurs during the growth stage and evolves in consecutive stages with varying degrees of intensity and extension. It is self-limited, caused by ischemia of unknown origin, and involves a complex course, from the time of diagnosis to the decision of providing treatment. The latter needs to be understood for it to be effective and delay or prevent the occurrence of the pain resulting from the arthrosis that may occur as a sequela.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
