Abstract
Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease (LCPD) is a condition marked by temporary blood flow disruption to the proximal femur, commonly afflicting children aged 15 and younger. The etiology of the disease is often idiopathic and involves the development of avascular necrosis of the femoral head, subsequently leading to bone weakening and deformity. Obesity exacerbates LCPD, correlating with delayed diagnosis, increased disease severity, and bilateral involvement. Leptin, growth hormone, and other inflammatory mediator alterations in obese individuals contribute to the pathogenesis. Treatment ranges from conservative measures to surgery, with particular challenges in obese patients. An improved understanding of the impact of obesity on LCPD progression is crucial for tailored management and optimal outcomes.
