    About this ebook

    The Parents Guide to Perthes is a reassuring guide for parents learning how to handle their child's condition. Written in everyday language, this book explains how Perthes is diagnosed, how it progresses through stages, and how the age of the child at onset affects the course of the disease. Illustrations and x-ray examples show the effects of Perthes in the hip joint for different children. The book describes how doctors develop a treatment plan and includes first-person accounts from parents and children about their Perthes experiences.

      I previously read the author's other book, "The Parents' Guide to Hip Dysplasia," so I was also very interested to read this one. As I mentioned in my other review, I am a nursing student and enjoy reading these types of books so that I can have a deeper understanding of the causes and treatments. This one interested me a great deal because I myself had to wear casts when I was younger, though I have no recollection of it. I think that this book will prove to be an extremely valuable resource for parents who have a child with clubfoot. The author goes to great lengths to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand. I also like the resources that she provides so that parents will have a plethora of information already found for them; all they have to do is go to whatever website that they find interesting from the list. A must read for anyone who has a child with clubfoot.
    • 5/5
      This book is wonderful! It is very easy-to-read and the pictures and diagrams truly help the reader understand exactly what the author is explaining. The personal stories and photos of families and children affected by clubfoot throughout the book was a very nice touch and, I think, would help calm down a parent who was recently told that their child had a clubfoot because they could see that they were not alone and that the problem could be solved. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know more about clubfoot or who has a child who has it.
    • 5/5
      Miller has provided an excellent introduction to clubfoot for the concerned parent. It will also serve as an introduction to anyone who is simply curious about the condition.The most important point for the parents of the newly-diagnosed is that clubfoot can usually be corrected with only minor surgery. Braces must be worn for years, however, although often only at night. Full recovery is the usual result; Miller lists several famous athletes who were born with clubfoot.Don’t panic! A diagnosis of clubfoot does not mean that your child will be a “cripple”. Read this book for the facts.
    • 5/5
      Received from Member Giveaways.Well-written guide offering advice for parents that have children with clubfoot.Does not promise instant "fix-its", but does provide a comprehensive understanding of clubfoot and what treatment entails. The book also offers an insight into what parents should look for in a doctor, what options are out there, and advice from parents whose children were born with clubfoot.Good, comprehensive read.
