Summary
Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCP) represents the loss of blood flow to the head of the femur,
resulting in significant hip pain and potential long term disability. This study represents a
single center, randomized, prospective, controlled study comparing the treatment of LCP with
an intraarticular corticosteroid (triamcinolone hexacetonide) injection with traditional
nonoperative treatment.
