This document provides information about Perthes disease, including:
- It is a self-limiting condition caused by ischemia and necrosis of the femoral head, most common in children aged 4-8.
- Historical figures who studied the condition include Legg, Calve, and Perthes.
- The disease involves four stages: ischemic, fragmentation, reparative, and remodeling.
- Treatment aims to restore mobility, contain the femoral head, and allow weight bearing, through methods like bracing or osteotomies.
- Prognosis depends on factors like age of onset, extent of involvement, and classification system used to assess deformity and congruence.
Perthes disease, also known as Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, is a childhood condition causing the temporary loss of blood supply to the femoral head. This leads to bone death and deformity of the hip joint. It most commonly affects boys between the ages 4-8 years old. The exact cause is unknown but may involve genetic and vascular factors. Symptoms include a limp or hip pain. Diagnosis is made through x-rays showing changes to the femoral head such as fragmentation. Prognosis depends on factors like age of onset and extent of femoral head involvement. Treatment aims to contain the femoral head within the acetabulum during healing to prevent deformity.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

This SlideShare presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Declaration of Helsinki, a foundational document outlining ethical guidelines for conducting medical research involving human subjects.
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Synovitis of the hip occurs early in
Perthes disease.
Increased pressure in synovitis may
cause a tamponade effect on the
vasculature
23. Pathogenesis
Waldenstrom staged the
pathological process of the disease
as
1. Initial or ischaemic stage
2. Resorption or fragmentation stage
3. Reparative stage
4. Remodelling stage
24. Pathogenesis
Ischaemic stage
- Necrosis
- Crushing of trabaculae.
- degeneration of basal layer of
articular cartilage
- Thickening of peripheral
cartilagenous cap.
- Shape of head maintained.
26. Pathogenesis cont…
Resorption stage
- Invasion of vascular connective tissue.
- Resorption of dead bone by
Osteoclasts.
- loss of epiphyseal height due to
1) Collapse of bony trabaculae.
2) Resorption of dead bone
30. Remodelling stage
(replacement by biologically
plastic bone)
If treated
Femoral head is
congrous
If untreated
Subluxation and
deformity
31. Clinical Features
Painless limp leads to painful limp
Pain in the groin,anterior hip
or greater trochanter
Referred pain to the knee
Combination of antalgic & trendelenburg
gait.
32. Decreased range of motion especially
abduction and internal rotation.
Atrophy of thigh muscles.
Shortening
33. Investigation
X-Ray –AP & Frog leg Lat view
(Lowenstein view)
USG
Arthrography
Bone Scan
MRI
42. Arthrography
Shows configuration of the femoral
head and its relation with the
acetabulum.
Containment
Congruity
Not routinely used .
43. Bone Scan
Diagnosis possible months before
signs appear on X-Ray.
Avascular areas show cold spots.
44. Bone Scan
Convay et al
classification
Stage 1 is total
lack of uptake
45. Bone Scan( stage 2)
Revascularisation of a
lateral column
Failure to
revascularise at lat
column is a grave
sign
Also called
“scintigraphic head at
risk sign”
Precedes radiographic
head at risk sign by
2-3 mths
51. Catterall classification
(based on x ray AP and Lat view).
I – only anterior portion of epiphysis
affected.
II – anterior segment involved central
sequestrum present
III – most of epiphysis sequestered with
unaffected portions located medial
and lateral to central segment
IV – all of epiphysis sequestered.
54. Herring Lat Pillar
Group-A no involvement of the lateral
pillar, with no density changes and no loss
of height of the lateral pillar
Group-B hips have lucency in the lateral
pillar and may have some loss of height ,
but not exceeding 50% of the original
height.
Group-C hips are those with more lucency
in the lateral pillar and >50% loss of
height
55.
56. Prognostic Factors
1. Age at diagnosis
<6 yrs – good
6 – 9 yrs – fair
>9 yrs - poor
1. Extent of involvement
2. Sex
3. Catterall “head at risk” signs
66. CE angle of Weiberg
Indicator of acetabular depth
It is the angle formed by a
perpendicular line through
the midpoint of the femoral
head and a line from the
femoral head center to the
upper outer acetabular
margin.
Normal = 20 to 40 degrees
Angle >25 = good, 20-25=
fair, < 20 = poor
69. Epiphyseal index & quotient
Epiphyseal index = greatest height of
the epiphysis divided by its width.
Epiphyseal quotient = Epiphyseal
index of involved hip divided by the
index for uninvolved hip.
>0.6 = good
0.4-0.6 = fair
<0.4 = poor
72. Stulberg classificaton
Class I – Shape of the femoral head was
basically normal.
Class II – Loss of head height but within 2 mm
to a concentric circle on AP and frog
leg X-Ray
Class III – Deviates more than 2 mm and
acetabulum contour matches
the head contour
Class IV – Head Flattened, Flattened area
<1cm. Acetabulum contour matches
the head contour
Class V – Collapse of femoral head, Acetabular
contour does not change
73. Stulberg classificaton
Class I & II – Spherically congruent.
Class III & IV – Congruous Incongruity
OR
Aspherical congruity.
Class V – Incongruous incongruity
OR
Aspherically incongruent.
79. Differential diagnosis
Tuberculosis of the hip
AVN due to leukemia, lymphoma,
gauchers disease,
hemoglobinopathies etc
Meyers dysplasia
AVN following dislocation.
Transient synovitis
80. Treatment
Objectives
- To produce a normal femoral
head and neck
- To produce a normal acetabulum
- A congruous hip which is fully
mobile
- To prevent degenerative arthritis
of the hip later in life
81. Treatment
Treatment efforts are directed
towards
- Restoration and maintenance of
full mobility of the hip
- Containment of the femoral
head.
- Resumption of weight bearing
and full activity as soon as
possible
82. Treatment
Caterall group 1 and
group 2 ( < 7 years)
No
Herring group 1 & Treatment
group 2 (< 6 years)
83. Treatment
Treatment is divided into 3 phases
Initial Phase – restore & maintain
mobility
Active Phase – Containment and
maintainance of full mobility.
Reconstructive phase – correct
residual deformities.
84. Treatment ( Initial Phase )
Physiotherapy – active and passive
range of motion
exercises to restore
motion
Traction – B/L skin traction and
gradually abducting over 1-2
weeks till full abduction is
regained.
85. Treatment ( Active Phase )
Consists of containment of the
femoral head within the acetabulum.
This can be achieved by
orthosis
or by
surgery
86. Treatment (Orthosis)
Non Ambulatory weight releiving
1. Abduction broomstick plaster cast
2. Hip pica cast
Ambulatory Both limbs included
1. Petrie Abduction cast
2. Toronto orthosis
3. Newington orthosis
4. Birmingham brace
5. Atlanta Scotish Rite Brace
94. Treatment (Orthosis)
Orthotic treatment is discontinued when
the disease enters the reparative phase
and healing is established.
95. The radiographic evidence of healing are
1. Appearance of irregular ossification in the
femoral head.
2 . Increased density of femoral head should
disappear.
3 . Medial segment of femoral head should
increase in size and height.
4 . Metaphyseal rarefaction involving the lateral
cortex of the metaphysis should ossify.
5 . There should be intact lateral column.
