Overview

These conditions nearly all present with an insidious onset of pain referred to the location of the bony damage. Some, notably Kienbock’s disease of the wrist, may involve considerable swelling, and Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease of the hip causes the victim to limp. The spinal form, Scheuermann’s disease, may cause bending, or kyphosis of the upper spine.
