Hip pain children : Almost all children do well in the short term. However, long-term outcome depends upon age at time of disease onset and degree of involvement of the femoral head . Children who are younger than six to eight years have a better prognosis, perhaps because more time is permitted for femoral remodeling and because before eight years of age the acetabulum is plastic and can mold (ages 3-12 yrs).
