Specialists of the Department for the Protection and Promotion of Children’s Health and Youth of the Institute of Mother and Child are alerting that 90 percent of children in Poland have a posture defect, especially in the knees, hips and spine. From year to year, the scale of the problem is increasing. This is confirmed by the 2012 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) report, which was developed together with specialists from the Institute of Mother and Child. According to this report, adolescents are at risk of acquiring posture defects and other orthopedic diseases due to an increasing number of causes. These include a sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, inadequate diet (the number of obese children and adolescents has increased in recent decades), and even inadequate lighting while reading or a bad school bag.
In pediatric orthopedics, there are two stages in which the risk of abnormal spine development is increased:
A pediatric orthopedist deals with the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired defects, as well as injuries and sports injuries occurring in children.. Pediatric orthopedics is very different from adult orthopedics. Illnesses or injuries in children are of a different nature and course. It should also be emphasized that diseases of the musculoskeletal system differ depending on the age of the child – others occur in early school and adolescence. That is why it is so important to prevent and take care of the child’s health at every stage of life. Performing appropriate examinations, carrying out a health balance at intervals recommended by pediatricians, should be a priority for every parent. Both in orthopedics and in other specialties, time is important – early detection of a defect or disease significantly speeds up the treatment process and increases the chances of the child’s recovery..
Parents of the youngest patients most often report to a pediatric orthopedist when:
Pediatric consultations at the Carolina Medical Center take place during individually agreed hours. Before the first visit, the patient’s parents will be asked to fill in the Patient Registration Card at the reception desk.
During the visit, the pediatric orthopedist conducts an interview with the patient’s parents. Then he examines the young patient and, if necessary, orders specialist imaging tests, such as X-ray or ultrasound.
During the first visit, during which a pre-luxation ultrasound is performed, the doctor assesses the musculoskeletal system and checks if there are any defects in the hip joints (e.g., hip dysplasia). For ultrasound examination of the hips, it is worth dressing the child in such a way that dressing and undressing are quick and comfortable (e.g., an unbuttoned bodysuit or t-shirt, and instead of tights – leggings and socks).
