Final Pr. ID: Poster #: CR-003

We describe a case of a 14-year-old boy with a history of Legg-Calve- Perthes disease at the age of 6 and development of synovial osteochondromatosis (SOC) at the same hip joint 7 years later. Synovial osteochondromatosis is very rare in children and to the best of our knowledge, only a single case of Legg – Calve- Perthes disease and secondary synovial osteochondromatosis was described in the literature in a 35 year old male, making this the first reported case of Legg Calve Perthes disease and synovial osteochondromatosis in a pediatric patient.
