A. Bone biopsy. B. Radiographs. C. MRI. D. Genetic testing.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Radiographs are vital to the diagnosis of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
Initial X-rays might look normal because it can take one to two months after symptoms begin for the changes associated with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease to become evident on X-rays.
The doctor will likely recommend several X-rays over time, to track the progression of the disease.

Bone biopsy is not a diagnostic procedure for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
MRI can visualize bone damage caused by Legg-Calve-Perthes disease more clearly than X-rays can but are not always necessary.
Genetic testing is not a diagnostic procedure for Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
