Diseases of children (pediatrics)

Foot deformities in systemic diseases: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Deformities of the feet are characteristic manifestations of systemic diseases of the musculoskeletal system (SZODA). With multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, pseudoahondroplasia, late spondyloepiphysic dysplasia, congenital functionally significant deformities are rare.

Arthrogryposis

Arthrogryposis is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by congenital contractures in two or more joints in combination with muscular hypo- or atrophy, which has signs of spinal cord motoneurons lesion.

Foot gigantism in children: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Depending on the type of deformation, five variants of gigantism of feet in children are distinguished: gigantism of the entire foot, internal, middle, outer parts and macrodactyly.

Congenital split feet in children: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Congenital split foot deformity is a complex developmental disorder, accompanied by the absence of one or more metatarsal bones and fingers, a deep cleft in the entire depth of the forefoot.

True congenital gigantism: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

True congenital gigantism (macrodactyly) is a developmental disorder caused by a violation of the linear and volumetric parameters of the upper extremity in the direction of increase.

Congenital reduced deformity of the feet: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Congenital reduced deformity of the feet is characterized by reduction and supination of the forefoot along the Lisfranc joint line, valgus position of the posterior part, subluxation or dislocation of the wedge-shaped bones, pronounced deformation of the metatarsal bones, atypical attachment of the anterior tibial muscle.

Platypodia (planovalgus deformation of the feet)

Ploskovalgusnaya deformation of the feet is accompanied by a flattening of the longitudinal arch, valgus position of the posterior, abduction-pronation position of the anterior part. Flattening - a fairly common deformation, according to different authors, from 31.8 to 70% of all foot deformities. Particularly large percentage of flat feet in preschool and primary school age children.

Congenital clubfoot

Congenital clubfoot (equinoqua-varus deformity) is one of the most common malformations of the musculoskeletal system, which, according to different authors, is 4-20% of all deformities.

Erba's paralysis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Erba's paralysis is named after the German scientist Erba (W. Erb). In 1874, he proved that as a result of obstetric manipulation during the birth shoulder muscles, which are innervated from the 5th and 6th cervical segments of the spinal cord, are affected. As a result, the upper paralysis develops.

Camptodactyly: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Camptodactyly - a congenital defect caused by a violation of the differentiation of the tendon-muscle apparatus of the hand. Observe either isolated flexion contracture of the V finger (in 96% of cases), or combined with the flexural contraction of the II-IV fingers at the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint (in 4% of cases).
