Perthes' disease and mud treatment

Abstract

Perthes' disease is still little studied, especially as regards its pathogenesis and therapy; the cases, traced back over the years, are still isolated. It is difficult to refer the disease to pure arthrosis (see my view in Physician's Business, 1928, No. 10). In Essentuki I have consulted in a number of cases during the last 5 years, I have seen some patients repeatedly and I can give some data about their balneotherapy. As an example, I will give one case, which I saw repeatedly and demonstrated at a lecture to doctors in Essentuki in 1926.
