This document describes the case of a 4-year-old boy with a limp lasting less than 72 hours. The hip X-ray shows a subchondral fracture and sclerosis in the left femoral head, leading to the diagnosis of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. This condition causes avascular necrosis of the femoral head and is more common in children aged 3-8 years. Symptoms include limping and hip pain. The treatment aims to restore joint mobility and maintain the head.
