Category: Perthes Disease Awareness Product: I Have Perthes Disease Understanding Perthes Disease: What Parents Should KnowPerthes Disease, also called Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease, is a rare childhood condition affecting the hip joint. It occurs when the blood supply to the rounded head of the thigh bone (the femoral head) is temporarily disrupted. Without sufficient blood flow, the bone tissue in the area begins to die, leading to pain, inflammation, and difficulty walking. Over time, the body repairs and regrows the bone, but this process can take years and often requires specialised treatment. Although Perthes Disease can affect any child, it is more common in boys and usually develops between the ages of 4 and 10. Early symptoms often include limping, hip pain, and stiffness in the affected leg. These symptoms can worsen with physical activity, making it challenging for children to join in with their peers during everyday activities. How Can Our "I Have Perthes Disease" Card Help Children?Children living with Perthes Disease often face challenges that others may not immediately understand. Because the condition isn't always obvious at first glance, it can be hard for them to explain why they might need extra support or consideration.

Its design is bright, cheerful, and child-friendly, ensuring it’s something they feel confident carrying. Whether they are at school, a playgroup, or any social event, the card can help raise awareness and encourage understanding.

Carrying a card like ours can help highlight these unique challenges to teachers, caregivers, or other adults in charge.
