OVERVIEW
This page is dedicated to organizing various examples of standardized exam questions whose answer is Legg-Perthes. While this may seem a odd practice, it is useful to see multiple examples of how Legg-Perthes will be characterized on standardized exams (namely the boards and the shelf exams). This page is not meant to be used as a traditional question bank (as all of the answers will be the same), however seeing the classic “test” characterization for a disease is quite valuable.
QUESTION EXAMPLES
Question # 1
