A member asked:

Perthes disease doctors got it at a early age, age 15 i had two screws and i think my hip realined? sound right, 25 screws removed, will it be okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely, yes!: It all depends on how your hip looks like on x ray. If the joint is congruent (the head and socket matches well) you will be ok, if not there is an increased risk of early joint problem possible need for joint replacement.
