Diseases of children (pediatrics)

Juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine

Juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine is indicated in ICD-10 by code M42.0. Other names are: osteochondropathy of apophyses of vertebral bodies, aseptic necrosis of apophyses of vertebral bodies, Sheyermann-Mau disease, osteochondropathic kyphosis, juvenile kyphosis. The disease is more common in young men during the growth of the organism, at the age of 11-18.

Spondylolisthesis in children

The diagnosis of spondylolisthesis (Latin spondylolisthesis, from the Greek spondylos - vertebra, listhesis - slippage) indicates the displacement of the vertebra anteriorly (in ICD-10 code M43.1). The body of the lumbar vertebra V (L5) is most often displaced with respect to I sacral (S1) and IV lumbar (L4) to V lumbar vertebra (L5).

Scoliosis treatment

The goal of conservative treatment of scoliosis is to keep the spinal deformation from further progression. Principles of treatment: axial unloading of the spine and the creation of a strong muscular corset due to the use of physical methods of treatment. Curative gymnastics - a special set of exercises, corresponding to an individual diagnosis, performed first outpatiently, under the supervision of the LFK methodologist, and then at home for 30-40 minutes.

Diagnosis of scoliosis

In pediatric practice, the timely diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis is of paramount importance. This is a severe orthopedic disease, expressed in the multiplanar deformation of the spine and thorax. The term "idiopathic" implies a cause unknown to modern science of the origin of the disease.

Scoliosis in children

One of the most common orthopedic diseases in children is scoliosis, or lateral curvature of the spine (according to ICD-10 code M41). The frequency of scoliotic deformities of the spine, according to various authors, varies from 3 to 7%, with 90% accounted for the share of idiopathic scoliosis. Scoliosis occurs in all races and nationalities, more often they suffer from female faces - up to 90%.

Violation of posture in children: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Violation of posture in children is noted both in the frontal (when viewed from the front and from behind), and in the sagittal plane (when viewed from the side).

Juvenile epiphysis of the femoral head: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Juvenile epiphysis of the head of the femur is on the third place in a number of diseases of the hip joint. At the heart of this endocrine-orthopedic disease is the violation of the correlation between sex hormones and growth hormones - two groups of hormones that play a major role in the vital activity of cartilaginous epiphyseal plates.

Legg-Calvet-Perthes disease

Leggy-Calve-Perthes disease (or osteochondrosis of the head of the femur) is the most common type of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head in childhood. Until now, the disease leads to severe violations of the anatomical structure and function of the hip joint, and consequently, to the disability of patients.

Treatment of congenital hip dislocation

The purpose of treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip and dysplasia of the hip joint is concentric insertion of the femoral head into the acetabulum, with the creation and maximum maintenance of the conditions for the development of the joint components. This goal is achieved by functional conservative and operative treatment.

Congenital dislocation of hip

Congenital dislocation of the hip is a severe pathology characterized by underdevelopment of all the elements of the hip joint (bones, ligaments, joint capsule, muscles, vessels, nerves) and disruption of the spatial relationships of the femoral head and the acetabulum.
