Great video. This is how medicine should be taught, because this is how we have to practice! I mean, get two diseases that are on the same differential because their clinical symptoms are similar, and then explain how they are different, and thus how you distinguish one from another. Thank you
I am resident orthopaedic surgeon, joined very recently this field. The video, although introductory was a tremendous help in making concepts. God Bless you.
My son (6 1/4) is just through it. We were lucky to have the right diagnosis (Perthes Catterall IV i.e. 100% of femoral head destroyed) at the very beginning when he was 3 1/2. On the day of diagnosis we cut kindergarten time from 100% to 50%, told our employer we can only work 70% each and started therapy: Every day physiotherapy, traction, cycling and almost every day swimming. Kiga only in wheelchair, daily steps from 30.000 down to max 3.000. Result: a perfect 1 of 10.000 reconstruction of femoral head. No pain after first 3 months of disease, full flexibility in every direction, perfectly centralized head. There is no difference to his other leg observable at all. We can highly recommend to be extremely consequent, follow a progressive approach with a lot of activity and movement - !!! but with eliminating pressure on the joint!!! E.g. cycling only while sitting in the saddle and with very high cadence. Very important is to care for the psych as well - we told him a wheelchair is not a stigma - but a sports-tool for building up muscles and having fun.
I had Perthes as a child,I remember having to do the cast twice.The hardest part for me was being in traction for several times.And being in a car there were no mini vans back then, eventually I healed up great,I started paying football not long after the doctors gave me the green light.I road a skateboard for many years.I hope your loved one has a great recovery.
Did you ever get it treated I am currently 22yrs old and I just got diagnosed 2 years ago but I can bearly walk now and I am scared . If you could please let me know how your situation went thanks.
I have LCP since I was 11 in 1984 . Had to wear a cowboy brace(very embarrassing especially when you’re 11 to 12 years old) then I was in traction for about nine months when I was 13.. I was told not to do any prolong running standing walking until I got my hip replaced later in life in my 30s.. i’m now 48 still super active although I do live my life in pain my right leg is about an inch and a half shorter very limited range of motion.. I’m looking to seek for hip replacement soon and it’s to the moon baby
Thank you for the video,I am affected by this condition since I was 5.It just came out of suddenly without warnings.I used to always run everywhere as a kid.Life is interesting.Love yourself.
Hi I really enjoyed the video very informative I had SCFE on both both hips in 1975 three pins were fixed and each side and I basically had very few problems until the last few years when I had to endure quite a bit of a pain in the left hip as arthritis had set in, as predicted by my original surgeon.. I recently had a hip replacement on that side and the surgeon commented on some difficulty working around the original three screws to remove the head. My observation is that in all my research (thank you Internet) on this condition is that no mention is ever made of the stopping of growth and by this I mean specifically puberty. I can only mention that this was quite a psychologically painful for me at the time as I was 15 when I had the operations and obviously being behind others in my age group and growth, it was a real challenge for the typical teenager that counters this abnormality. I withdrew from sports and any activity That might of exposed my lack of pubic development. I wonder why it’s not included in discussions?
I should mention that following the operations, normal pubic development and growth spurt occurred within the next 12-24 months. (From 5ft 6in to 6ft 3in).
great video this is exactly what I had when I was 4 years old. it was a Severe case and had to have big surgery to pin the hip back into place. both me and my older brother had the same thing the hospital said it was very rare for that to happen. i was left with one leg Alot shorter and smaller than the other. i had another surgery to try to fix the growth problem. in my good leg (RIGHT LEG) they put 4 screws and 2 plates in the knee to slow the growth so the other leg could catch up. it worked good but i had the pins taken out a little early because i broke one of the screw and i think that was giving me pain. I am 20 years old now and am fit and strong but my legs still are not even but are very good compared to the difference before. I have one question at the moment i am working and my job requires me to stand in the same spot for long periods of time basically all day. on concrete floors i cant stand evenly and get a lot of pain in my neck and feet my good leg is taking all the weight. could this cause big problems for me in the future? Thanks for the video
Very interesting story, I am glad it all worked out. Uneven legs can start causing hip problems I would recommend seeing a physiotherapist, they will be able to recommend something. If you stand like that for too long often times your can mess up your hip or the knee so it is important you see one soon.
No one gives a damn about answering questions about adults who never knew they had Perthes and who are now severely arthritic and deformed. The average ortho just barely knows about it. Do we suffering adults not matter?
