Perthes Disease, also known as Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease, is a rare childhood condition that affects the hip joint. It occurs when the blood supply to the femoral head, the "ball" part of the hip joint, is disrupted, leading to a temporary interruption of blood flow. This, in turn, causes a lack of oxygen and nutrients to reach the bone, resulting in the death of bone cells and the gradual degeneration of the hip joint.
Over time, the body attempts to repair the damage by forming new bone, but during this healing process, the hip may become deformed, leading to pain, a limp, and a limited range of motion.
Perthes Disease typically affects children between the ages of 4 and 8, with a higher incidence in boys than girls.
In this informative webinar, we were fortunate to have two distinguished experts sharing their expertise and some exciting news about the research happening right now in the UK.
Dr. Daniel Perry, a Consultant Children's Orthopaedic Surgeon at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, is known for his groundbreaking research in children's trauma and orthopaedics. He discussed key aspects of Perthes Disease, making this video an invaluable resource.
We were also joined by Adam Galloway, a Physiotherapist with a specialist interest in Children's Orthopaedics. Adam has been working in Leeds since 2013 and is currently a clinical academic. At time of recording he is completing a HEE/NIHR Pre-Doctoral Clinical Academic Fellowship, which focuses on a rare hip disease in children called Perthes.
The combined expertise of Dr. Perry and Adam Galloway during the webinar provided comprehensive insights into Perthes Disease, making this video a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this condition.
Watch the recorded webinar to gain insights from these esteemed speakers and feel free to share it with others who may benefit from this knowledge.
