Abstract:
Ten new patients with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease were seen in the University College Hospital, Ibadan, in ten years, out of a hospital pediatric population of 550,000, giving an incidence of 1:55,000. This result is consistent with previous reports that Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is less common in Negroes than in Caucasians but Negroes are not immune.
