Perthes Disease, also known as Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease, is a rare condition that affects the hip joint in children, usually between the ages of 4 and 10 years. It occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) is temporarily disrupted, causing the bone to become weak, collapse, and gradually regenerate over time.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to prevent long-term joint problems such as stiffness, deformity, or arthritis in adulthood.
The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to be related to temporary loss of blood supply to the hip bone. Some possible contributing factors include:
Perthes is not caused by injury or infection, and it usually affects one hip, though both hips can be involved in rare cases.
If your child has a persistent limp or complains of hip/knee pain, it’s important to seek orthopaedic evaluation.
Dr. Manjush uses a combination of clinical examination and advanced diagnostic tools to confirm osteomyelitis, including:
Early diagnosis ensures more treatment options and better long-term outcomes.
Treatment depends on the child’s age, severity, stage of the disease, and hip joint involvement. Dr. Manjush offers both non-surgical and surgical treatments tailored to preserve hip function and shape.
