CONGENITAL SPINE DEFORMITIES IN CHILDREN: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PROGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2009.2.55-61
Abstract
Objective. To perform preliminary analysis of epidemiology of congenital spine deformities in children and to determine approaches to their prognosis, diagnostics and management.
Material and Methods. Official statistics and literature data were analyzed, as well as authors’ experience in examination and treatment of more than 2,000 children aged 0 to 16 years having different congenital spinal abnormalities, out of which 40 % were operated on.
Results. The approach to treatment of children with congenital spinal abnormalities was substantiated basing on radiological signs predicting deformity development during growth. Preventative surgical intervention in young children (1 to 5 years of age) is recommended. The recommendations are suggested on establishment of spine centers for treatment of children with spinal abnormalities in Russia.
