Abstract | Background: Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a necrosis of the femoral head which affects the range of motion of the hips. Its incidence is variable, ranging from 0.4/100,000 to 29.0/ 100,000 children. Although LCPD was first described in the beginning of the past century, limited is known about its etiology. Our objective is to describe the main areas of interest in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Methods: A review of the literature regarding LCPD etiology was performed, considering the following inclusion criteria: Studies reporting clinical or preclinical results. The research group carried out a filtered search on the PubMed and Science Direct databases. To maximize the suitability of the search results, we combined the terms ''Perthes disease" OR "LCPD" OR "children avascular femoral head necrosis" with "diagnostic" OR "treatment" OR "etiology" as either key words or MeSH terms. Results: In this article been described some areas of interest in LCPD, we include topics such as: history, incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and possible etiology, since LCPD has an unknown etiology. Conclusions: This review suggests that LCPD has a multifactorial etiology where environmental, metabolic and genetic agents could be involved. |
