Perthes disease, also known as legg-calves-perthes disease, can cause hip pain and a noticeable limp in children. While we have several treatment options, we prefer to explore non-surgical perthes disease treatment options first to help kids and reduce recovery time.
Non-surgical perthes disease management follows the principle of containment, which aims to keep the ball of the femur bone in the hip socket and keep it in motion. Learn about the different perthes disease treatment options that follow this principle.
We explain how our orthopedics experts use observation, physical therapy, medication, activity restriction and bracing to treat childhood perthes disease. When possible, we choose the least-invasive treatment so kids can find pain relief, maintain their range of motion and get back to being kids.
