Perthes' disease is a disorder of the hip joint in children. Femoral head became softens, flattened or deformed because of the lack of blood supply of unknown cause. It is a very rare cause of bilateral avascular necrosis of the head of the femur, which can easily diagnosed by clinical correlation with the X-ray pelvis findings. Here we present a typical case of Perthes disease, who was finally diagnosed after a long periods of time. In Perthes disease early detection is very important to preserve, restore the femoral head, relieve pain and prevent long term osteoarthritis.

Abstract: In Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease there is an avascular necrosis condition of the femoral head with a clinical onset between the ages of 2-12 years old.  The etiology of this disease remains unknown. Its variable clinical symptoms and disease progression depend on the severity of the disease. The principle of therapy is hip containment. Rehabilitation programs play an important role to revert or to maximize the function and activities of daily living. We reported a case of a 9-year-old girl with complains of limpness, asymmetric lower extremities, weakness of the right lower extremity, pain around the right knee, with a history of trauma on the right hip 5 months ago. Physical examination revealed weakness of the right hip flexor and knee extensor with limitation of the right hip’s range of motions. The X-ray taken showed an avascular necrosis appearance at the right femoral head. Conclusion: This case was diagnosed as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease based on anamnesis, physical examination, and the X-ray result. The rehabilitation management for this case was heat modality with infra red to prepare the muscle condition for exercises, muscle strengthening and range of motion exercises to prevent contracture, as well as medical education with psychological support.  Scottish Rite orthosis was planned to position the hip in abduction while limiting the hip adduction. Keywords: Legg-Calvé-Perthes, avascular necrosis, comprehensive rehabilitation.   Abstrak: Pada penyakit Legg-Calvé-Perthes terjadi kondisi nekrosis avaskular kaput femur dengan usia awitan paling sering antara usia 2-12 tahun. Etiologi penyakit ini masih belum diketahui, dengan perjalanan dan gambaran klinis yang bervariasi tergantung dari tingkat keparahan penyakit. Prinsip terapi penyakit ini ialah hip containment. Program rehabilitasi diberikan secara komprehensif baik dari fisioterapi, terapi okupasi, ortotik-prostetik, psikologi, serta sosial medik yang sangat berperan dalam mengembalikan atau memaksimalkan fungsi dan aktivitas kehidupan sehari-hari. Kami melaporkan kasus seorang anak perempuan usia 9 tahun dengan keluhan berjalan pincang, asimetris antara tungkai kanan dan kiri, kelemahan tungkai kanan, nyeri sekitar lutut kanan, dengan riwayat trauma panggul kanan 5 bulan lalu. Pada pemeriksaan fisik ditemukan kelemahan otot fleksor panggul dan ekstensor lutut kanan serta keterbatasan lingkup gerak sendi panggul kanan. Pada pemeriksaan radiologik terlihat gambaran nekrosis avaskular kaput femur kanan. Simpulan: Pada kasus ini, diagnosis penyakit Legg-Calvé-Perthes ditegakkan berdasarkan anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik, dan pemeriksaan radiologik. Penanganan rehabilitasi yang diberikan ialah modalitas panas berupa sinar infra red untuk mempersiapkan kondisi otot sebelum latihan, latihan penguatan otot dan lingkup gerak sendi untuk mencegah kontraktur, serta edukasi baik dari sisi medik maupun psikologik. Juga direncanakan pemberian Scottish Rite orthosis untuk membuat posisi panggul menjadi abduksi dengan membatasi gerakan adduksi. Kata kunci: Legg-Calvé-Perthes, nekrosis avaskular, rehabilitasi komprehensif.

Legg-Calv?-Perthes disease represents avascular necrosis of the femoral head in a growing child. It commonly affects children aged 2-14 years, mostly boys, and has familiar pattern. The etiology of this disease is unknown. It is based on avascular necrosis due to variations of the femoral head vascular supply, trauma, coagulation of endocrine disturbances. The disease presents with limping and pain localized in the hip with projection to thigh and knee, frequently accompanied by the limitation of abduction and internal rotation, as well as slight limitation in flexion of about 20 degrees. Plain radiography is most informative additional diagnostic procedure, enabling assessment of the stage of disease, containment of the femoral head within the acetabulum, acetabular coverage and the extent of disease. Main treatment goal is obtaining the spherical congruity of the hip joint. This can be achieved by abduction bracing, varization femoral osteotomies and various innominate osteotomies (sometimes combined with femoral osteotomies). Children younger than four years of age, with minimal femoral head involvement, do not need any treatment. These children with a larger involvement, older than four years of age, with possible containment in hip abducion, should be treated by one of the following procedures: Salter innominate osteotomy, Salter innominate osteotomy with femoral shortening, or triple pelvic osteotomy. The patients with containment of the hip is not possible in abduction (related to subluxation and femoral head crush), should be treated by Chiari pelvic osteotomy.

♦ Avascular necrosis of the femoral head initiated by unknown factors is followed by gradual restoration of blood supply and regeneration♦ Current treatment methods aim to prevent development of an aspherical and incongruent femoral head and acetabulum♦ Treatment should be offered to the child with a poor prognosis so that the natural history of the condition can be improved: identification of such cases is difficult♦ Early and late management strategies differ significantly.
