Have you found that your child has low shoulders , cannot sit upright, and is always crooked when standing;
When carrying a schoolbag, one shoulder strap easily falls down;
If you find such a problem, then the side of the spine Wan may have quietly come to the door.
Scoliosis, also called scoliosis , is a three-dimensional spinal deformity , among which adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common. At present, scoliosis has become the third "killer" that harms the health of children and adolescents in my country after obesity and myopia.
Lv Chaoliang, Director of Spine Surgery of Jining First People's Hospital , reminded parents that mild scoliosis has no obvious deformity in appearance, but if it is not detected and treated in time, when scoliosis develops seriously, it will lead to trunk deformation and reduced height. Affects the growth and development, mental health and cardiopulmonary function of adolescents. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are key.
1, observation method
Stand in front of the mirror, take off your coat, stand naturally, relax your shoulders, and observe whether your shoulders have different heights. If there are high or low shoulders, it indicates scoliosis.
2, vertical line method
Take off your shirt and stand naturally. Ask family members to place a vertical line on the spine of the neck, and observe whether the vertical line matches the spine from behind. If it does not match, it indicates scoliosis.
3. Forward bending test
The subject should straighten his knees and put his feet together, stand naturally, straighten his arms and clasp his hands, and slowly bend forward to 90°. The examiner observes from the rear and side. If there is unevenness or bulge in the back, it is a warning. Scoliosis or kyphosis.
If scoliosis is found through the above examination, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further evaluation and examination as soon as possible.
[Scoliosis Treatment]
Scoliosis treatment can be divided into two categories, namely non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment.
Treatment measures for different types of scoliosis:
Scoliosis angle is less than 10 degrees, focusing on active prevention and observation;
Scoliosis angle is greater than 10 degrees and less than 20 degrees, focusing on non-surgical rehabilitation treatment and sports rehabilitation exercise;
If the scoliosis angle is greater than 20 and less than 45 degrees, non-surgical rehabilitation therapy + brace correction is the treatment method;
The scoliosis angle is greater than 45 degrees, and surgical treatment is recommended.
Common non-surgical rehabilitation treatment methods include physical therapy, sports rehabilitation exercises, plaster, braces, etc.
The purpose of scoliosis surgery is to: prevent the progression of the deformity; restore spinal balance; correct the deformity as much as possible; preserve as many active segments of the spine as possible; and prevent nerve damage.
The Spine Surgery Department of Jining First People's Hospital is the largest department with the strongest technical force in southwestern Shandong. Under the leadership of Director Lu Chaoliang, the department is now mature enough to carry out scoliosis correction surgery and continuously holds free scoliosis screening activities for adolescents. .
Link:
The Spinal Surgery Department of Jining First People's Hospital has three wards, 120 beds, and 34 professional and technical staff, including 7 doctors, 25 masters, 4 chief physicians, and 9 deputy chief physicians. With the efforts of several generations of orthopedists and more than 10 years of development, spine surgery has developed into the largest department with the strongest technical force in southwestern Shandong. Treatment Technology Promotion Base", "Shandong Provincial Association of Rehabilitation Medicine Minimally Invasive Spine Teaching Base", "Provincial Key Clinical Specialty", "Shandong Provincial Specialist Nurse Orthopedics Clinical Teaching Base", has matured to carry out minimally invasive spinal surgery, scoliosis Deformity correction surgery, upper cervical vertebra anterior and posterior surgery, spinal tumor en bloc resection, etc. basically cover all cutting-edge and difficult surgeries in the field of spine surgery, and are at the domestic advanced level. Features and advantageous technologies of the
department:
Spinal endoscopic surgery: Spinal endoscopic surgery covers the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine. It is the first in southwestern Shandong to carry out endoscopic spinal fusion technology, dual-channel endoscopic technology (UBE), and percutaneous endoscopy. Posterior cervical spine technology, etc., are at the forefront of the country.
channel-assisted minimally invasive surgery: The world's mainstream channel-assisted technology has been maturely implemented, including MisTLIF, OLIF and other technologies, achieving full coverage of minimally invasive technology for spinal degenerative diseases.
Scoliosis deformity correction surgery: It has been mature to carry out the correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic scoliosis , neurofibromatosis scoliosis, and Marfan syndrome scoliosis. The department is equipped with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring equipment and experienced electrophysiological monitoring technicians to ensure the safety of surgery to the greatest extent. The department has opened a scoliosis clinic and conducts multiple adolescent scoliosis screenings every year, achieving standardized and individualized treatment from observation treatment, brace treatment to surgical correction.
Upper cervical spine anterior and posterior surgery: Upper cervical spine posterior lateral mass and pedicle screw fixation technology, anterior odontoid fracture cannulated screw fixation technology, anterior transoral release and posterior fixation technology, etc. have been maturely carried out.
Surgical treatment of spinal tumors: En bloc resection of spinal metastases, 3D printing artificial vertebral body reconstruction technology, palliative minimally invasive surgery, etc. have been maturely carried out.
Minimally invasive and comprehensive treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures: vertebral body shaping and kyphosis shaping technology (PVP/PKP) for vertebral osteoporotic fractures, standardized treatment of osteoporotic , etc.
