Perthes disease in 20 yr old girl

X-Ray of a 20 yr old girl

Reshmi (name not revealed as per request of patient) came with a complain of inability to abduct her hip beyond 30 degrees. Flexion of hip possible till the range of 50 degrees.This girl was put on cast post trauma to the pelvic region. X-ray reveals reduced space between acetabulum

and femur head. Avascular necrosis of articular surface.

Now my question -

1. Age has not come to take her for any surgical management ( like THR) so what should a physio aim at?

2. With time disuse atrophy can occur around hip muscles. so what should be the PT management

3. Psychological factors need to be considered. What is PT role in that & how?

4. what shd be the short term and long term goal

Conclusion:

Our management must be a sum up of all this . This helps you set up your own protocol, no need of any book

22 yr old with ankle pain

Boy preparing for army fitness test suddenly complains of pain in ankle. Pain s mainly in medial arch of both foot , more in right. On and off complain of pain in lower back also.
When I examined him at pratiksha I could see foot in eversion with reduced arch.
Fine I prescribe him correct footware with customised insole but what about the pathology?
Will rest and anti inflammatory be a solution.
No the answer is treat the root cause
This requires coordination between physio, orthopaedician, prosthetics and the awareness of the root cause.
What u say is the root cause?
