Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Perthes disease patient are more prone for development of arthritis at young age.
His all symptoms are suggestive of osteoarthritis of knee joint.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination, x ray and MRI of knee joint.
He may need knee replacement surgery to correct deformity.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
