Avascular necrosis of the femoral head in children is a disease that primarily affects the hip joint in children. The main symptoms of this disease often include limping, pain in the hip, groin or front of the thigh. If not treated early, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease can cause the bone to gradually weaken, break easily or be severely damaged.

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a dangerous disease that can easily cause damage to one or both sides of the hip joint with a high risk of requiring joint replacement. Musculoskeletal MRI is an imaging method that helps to observe risk signs and diagnose the disease.
