How is Perthes Disease Treated?


Treatment The perthes disease is treated in a number of ways according to the child’s age and severity of the hip disorder.



If the child is less than six years old, the hip disorder is treated through physiotherapy and home exercises.



On the other hand, they may be advised to use crutches, bed rest, and wear a special leg brace/plaster cast.


Surgery treatment is suggested only when the symptoms are severe in nature.
