Legg-Calvé-Perthes is a condition known by many names: aseptic or avascular necrosis of the femoral head, osteocondritis deformans juvenilis and coxa plana. It occours in young, small-breed dogs when there is necrosis of the femoral head and neck due to lack of blood supply. Typically clinical signs consist of lameness in one leg with deformity of the rip joint occouring in young dogs between 4 to 12 months old. The diagnosis is made by clinical signs and confirmed by radiographs. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition. The most of cases, pain is severe and surgical treatment is required. It consists is excision of the femoral head to form a pseudo-joint with good range of mobility.
