Perthes Disease - Making a leaflet

Hi Guys

My name is Laura and Im currently studying childrens nursing in University. I have been given an assignment to design a leaflet for a child suffering with Legg-Calve Perthes disease. My brother suffered with this condition when he was 4 years old so this topic really interests me.

I am writing to ask you if there was a leaflet out there what information would be most relevant to you and what would you like the leaflet to include. I want to ensure that I cover every aspect within the leaflet.

Thankyou very much

Laura

Heres the Patient UK leaflet about (click) Perthes, maybe itll provide a good start that you can cut, chop and change smile

Hi Laura

Have you tried the Perthes Association. They have a booklet you can buy.

My youngest daughter has perthes of the right hip and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia of the long bones on her left leg she is now 20 years old and doing well thanks to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Mr Jones. Our local hospital had no idea what was wrong with her when she was 2 years old it took me afew years to be able to have a second opinion. Was offered Great Ormand Street when she turned 5 years old.
