No statistically significant difference was found between the medial joint space of affected and normal hips, except for early stages of the disease (necrosis and fragmentation). The isolated use of radiographic study is insufficient in LCPD and the lack of complementation with other exams, such as magnetic resonance, can delay diagnosis of and onset of treatment for the disease.
