Preserving mobility is an extremely important therapeu- tic objective in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. As soon as a restriction occurs, regular physiotherapy should be initi- ated as this measure is generally sufficient for preserving adequate mobility. In some cases, the physiotherapy will need to be continued for several years.
