Legg-Calve-Perthes disease	Flattened femoral head that can lateral appear fragmented. Most common type of aseptic or ischaemic necrosis. Lesions typically involve one hip Image: Lcp (binary/octet-stream)
Pagets Disease	Non-neoplastic bone disease that disrupts new bone growth, resulting in over production of very dense yet soft bone. Bone destruction creates lytic or lucent areas which is followed by reconstruction of bone by which sclerotic or dense areas are created (cotton-wool appearance) Image: Pagets (binary/octet-stream)
Open Book fracture	Disruption of pubic symphysis resulting in the pelvis looking like an open book. SI joint disruption may also be seen Image: Open Book (binary/octet-stream)
