Ans:
A, C, D

Feedback:

Pain and difficulty in walking commonly accompany Legg-Calv-Perthes disease, in which necrosis exists in the epiphyseal growth center of the femoral head. Toe-in would not be an expected related finding, and microfractures where the patellar tendon and tibia articulate are associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
