Perthes Disease
Perthes disease is a childhood hip disorder in which the blood supply to the head of the femur is temporarily interrupted, which affects the growing bone. It usually appears in childhood.
Common symptoms: limping, pain in the hip, thigh, or knee, and limited ability to move the leg normally.
Common causes: the origin is not always clear, and it is linked to the disruption of blood flow to the joint during a stage of development.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric orthopedist or orthopedist evaluates the hip, drawing on the pediatrician and on imaging studies interpreted by the radiologist. If a child limps or complains of persistent leg pain, it is worth having a professional check it without delay.
