Recently, a 13-year-old girl's condition has become a hot search. "After a girl's fracture, the bones in her body are found to be dissolved."
Will the bones of a person dissolve? A 13-year-old girl actually has osteoporosis ? Recently, experts from Zhejiang University’s pediatric hospital have encountered very rare cases. A 13-year-old Henan girl Xiuxiu (pseudonym), had multiple fractures on her body and was pushed to the hospital by her mother. After examination, the child found that the osteoporosis was severe. In layman's terms, the bones all over the body began to dissolve, and the cause was finally locked into parathyroid tumor. "Serious abnormalities in bone density caused by parathyroid tumors are very rare in clinical practice. After years of experience, I have encountered less than 10 cases." Wang Jinhu, deputy director of pediatric surgery and deputy director of oncology surgery at Zhejiang University Kennel, revealed. Chen Wenhao, deputy director of orthopedics, said that fractures, leg deformities, and hip varus are sometimes not just skeletal problems, but are caused by other diseases.
Associate Chief Physician Chen Wenhao understands Xiuxiu's postoperative situation, which makes the two experts happy that under the relay diagnosis and treatment of the two disciplines, the disease that may deprive the child of his life has been cured and the bone density has also begun to recover. The first hip correction surgery has been performed, and after another operation, he is expected to live like a normal child. After falling down, I broke my bones and went to the hospital to check for the problem. Xiuxiu, who is usually very confident, is not satisfied with her leg shape. She is the O-shaped leg in everyone's eyes. Since last summer vacation, her legs have been painful from time to time. In October, she accidentally fell and went to a nearby hospital for examination and found that she had multiple fractures and muscle strains . After treatment, I thought I could recover after a while of rest, but the pain from my legs from time to time told Xiuxiu's family that something was wrong. In order to find out the cause, in March this year, Xiuxiu and her parents went to a large hospital closer to home for treatment. After femoral biopsy, the doctor diagnosed Xiuxiu with bone fiber structure . Can I return to normal after surgery? Things didn't go that smoothly. In late March, Xiuxiu and her family went to the outpatient clinic of Chief Physician Wang Jinhu, oncology surgery. Seeing Xiuxiu sitting on the cart and being pushed into the clinic by her mother, Director Wang Jinhu, who has rich clinical experience, suspected that the problem was not simple. The pediatrician expert took off the silk and decoded the cause and was removed by one-size-fits-all resection. Chief physician Wang Jinhu launched solid tumor MDT for her, and asked disciplines such as radiology, pathology, pediatric gynecology, orthopedics, and endocrinology to hold a multidisciplinary discussion on Xiuxiu's condition. After full discussion, the expert team locked in the "culprit": parathyroid tumors in the neck. After clarifying the cause, the oncology surgery and orthopedic teams began to take action and prescribe the right medicine for Xiuxiu in stages and steps. In early April, the parathyroid tumor was removed by chief physician Wang Jinhu of the Department of Oncology Surgery for Xiuxiu, and the operation went very smoothly. Postoperative examination showed that Xiuxiu's indicators gradually became normal and blood calcium decreased significantly. After supplementing calcium and vitamin D for a period of time, her bones also improved, close to the level of ordinary people. The distressing hip deformity has also been reminded by orthopedic experts on osteotomy treatment: It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible after serious leg deformity or abnormal bone density.
