Abstract

Hip pain in adults is commonly the result of residual deformity from pediatric hip disease, including developmental hip dysplasia, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), and Legg–Calve–Perthes (LCP) disease. This chapter will review the epidemiology, proximal femoral and acetabular deformity, and the natural history of each of these common disorders.
