The condition is known as Perthes, Legg-Perthes, or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Perthes disease is an avascular osteonecrosis of the epiphysis of the femoral head. It is assumed that through a kinetotherapeutic program appropriate to the patient's particularities, the mobility of the coxofemoral joint will remain within normal parameters, the femoral head will acquire a rounded shape, the stability of the joint will increase, walking will improve, and surgical intervention will be avoided or at least delayed.
