Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease

A rare disorder characterized by uni- or bilateral avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head in children.

Osteopathia striata

A lamellar pattern visible on radiographs and mainly localized at the metaphyses of the long tubular bones. Pathologic-anatomical studies revealed that these benign signs on x-rays are the result of a juvenile metaphyseal bone necrosis. Calcifications in the necrotic marrow lead to this lamellar or lattice-like appearance.
