Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease: Expert Pediatric Hip Care in Germany with WEGOVITA
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease is a childhood hip disorder where the blood supply to the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) is temporarily disrupted, causing the bone to weaken and eventually break down (avascular necrosis). Over time, the bone regenerates, but the process can lead to deformity and arthritis if untreated.
Limping or difficulty walking
Hip or groin pain, sometimes referred to the knee
Limited range of motion in the hip
Muscle stiffness or weakness in the affected leg
Shortening of the leg in advanced cases

| Bracing or Casting | Devices to keep the hip properly positioned | Moderate disease stages | Supports bone healing and joint alignment |
