Legg-Calve-Perthes is a childhood condition of the hip joint, affecting the area where the thigh bone (femoral head) meets the pelvis in a ball-and-socket joint. This condition occurs when the thigh bone loses its blood supply, causing the bone to change shape. It is then unable to fit properly into the hip socket. The underlying cause of decreased blood flow to the thigh bone is unknown.
