Abstract

PERTHES DISEASE - A CASE STUDY

                                                             *NEETHU VIKRAM M.B

        Perthes disease is a relatively common disease of the hip in childhood , affecting 10.8 of 100000 children. Despite nearly 100 years of research, its etiology and treatment are still topics of controversies. Management of Perthes disease aims at preservation of structure,function and relief from pain. Many surgical procedures are carried out to remedy the condition but all these procedures are costly with the prognosis being poor and not affordable to low economic people. Signs and symptoms of perthes disease can be correlated to vamkshana sandhigata vata.Here we have a 10 year old male patient complaints with pain in right hip and limping gait since 8 months. Conservative management of Perthes disease through Ayurvedic principles provide significant results on the basis of symptomatology  and radiological investigations and also helped to improve the quality of life.
 

Key words : Perthes disease,Sandhigata vatam
