AB A  7-year-old  boy  presents  with  his  parents  with  a  month-long  history  of  “running  funny”  while  playing  baseball  this  season.  He  does  not  complain  of  any  pain  and  has  not  had  any  problems  like  this  in  the  past.  The  patient  and  family  deny  any  trauma,  fevers,  or  chills.  Radiograph  of  his  pelvis  is  obtained  and  shows  the  early  stages  of  Legg-Calve-Perthes  disease  (Figure  88-1).
