Hi, My son Kale was diagnosed with perthes Last October (2007) our doctor picked it up. He sent kale for X-Rays to see if he was right and yes kale has perthes. Kale had pain in his left knee that was getting worse. When kale had the X-rays perthes showed in the right leg not the left where the pain was. We went to see the orthopedic doctor and he told us that kale had perthes in both legs. (Bilateral) Kale's right leg had been like that for some time since he was at least 4 Kale is now seven years one month and has just had a arthrogram done on his left leg which showed hinging on the femoral head DAM IT. This is such a brain pain my hart is braking all the time. Kale is the second of four boys and it is so hard to tell him NO you can't do what all the other boys are doing. This is such a hard thing to deal with.
