Perthes Disease Treatment in Indore
Perthes Disease Treatment in Indore
Perthes disease, also known as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, is a childhood condition that affects the hip joint, specifically the femoral head (the rounded end of the thigh bone) and the hip socket. This condition occurs when there is a temporary interruption of blood flow to the femoral head, leading to bone cell death (avascular necrosis) and subsequent deformity of the hip joint. Perthes disease typically affects children between the ages of 4 and 10, with boys being more commonly affected than girls. Symptoms may include limping, hip pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the affected hip joint.
Treatment
Treatment for Perthes disease aims to relieve symptoms, preserve hip function, and prevent long-term complications such as arthritis. The specific treatment approach may vary depending on the child’s age, the severity of the condition, and the stage of the disease. In many cases, conservative measures such as activity modification, physical therapy, and bracing may be sufficient to manage symptoms and promote healing. However, more severe or advanced cases may require surgical intervention, such as hip osteotomy (surgical realignment of the hip joint) or hip replacement, to improve joint function and stability.
