Insights

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) in older children can be managed conservatively. This case report shows a 10-year-old boy with LCPD improved with traction and casting, even with financial limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Avascular Necrosis Research
  • Pediatric Case Studies

Background:

  • Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) affects the femoral head in children.
  • Late-onset LCPD (over 8 years) typically has a poorer prognosis.
  • Osteonecrosis of the femoral head can lead to degenerative changes.

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
