What is Perthes’ disease? Perthes’ Disease is a rare condition that affects the developing femoral head (the “ball” of the “ball and socket” hip joint) of a child due to poor blood supply. In this condition, the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted and this leads to joint deformity. The destruction typically causes the femoral head to flatten and not fit well in the acetabulum (the “socket” of the hip joint).
