Q

What is Perthes Disease?

A

(3-12 yr old) More common in boys. the blood supply to the head of the femur is interrupted. The femoral head then “necroses,” or loses blood supply, which weakens the bone and can lead to multiple fractures.

Q

What is Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)

A

SCFE is a disorder of adolescents in which the growth plate is damaged and the femoral head moves (“slips”) with respect to the rest of the femur. The head of the femur stays in the cup of the hip joint while the rest of the femur is shifted

Q

What is Avascular necrosis (AVN)?

A

Avascular necrosis is a disease that results from the temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to the bone. When blood supply is cut off, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses. If avascular necrosis happens near a joint, the joint surface may collapse. This may occur in any bone but most commonly happens in the ends of a long bone. Need X-ray

Q

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis of hip

A

The MC symptom of osteoarthritis is pain after overuse or inactivity of a joint.
Pain, stiffness (especially after sleep or inactivity), and limited movement of joints.
Symptoms usually develop slowly over years with less movement in the joint over time.
A grinding feeling of the joint when moved, as the cartilage wears away (in more advanced stages)
