A 6-year-old boy who comes to the clinic has been limping off and on for several months. The limping lasts several hours to several days, and the leg stops hurting once he sits down. He is an active soccer player and loves to run around. His mother is concerned because he stops playing soccer when it hurts. She is concerned that he may have "broke something." Physical examination demonstrates limited internal rotation. X-ray examination reveals avascular necrosis (AVN). Therefore you know the diagnosis is
A) developmental dislocated hip (DDH).
B) slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
C) Legg-Calvé-Perthes (LCP) syndrome.
D) toxic synovitis.
