Abstract
Cylindrical biopsy specimens from the proximal femoral metaphysis were obtained in conjunction with surgery in 22 patients with Legg-Calve-P erthes disease. The histopathological examination revealed fat necrosi s, vascular proliferation, and focal fibrosis indicating previous epis odes of ischemia. Then was no correlation between the histopathologica l findings and the corresponding magnetic resonance images.
