reporter yesterday from the provincial hospital children Department of orthopedics learned that the incidence of dislocation of hip joint is about 1 per thousand, the incidence of girls is 6-8 times that of boys. But in Southwest Shandong Province, the incidence rate is about 10 per thousand. The main reason is that the way of wrapping babies is not right.
[girl's hip dislocation is 6-8 times that of a boy)
"when I just returned home a few years ago, one day to see dozens of hip dislocation of the children, one year down, we had more than 600 hip dislocation of the operation of children, this number is amazing." Yesterday, the provincial hospital pediatric department of orthopedics chief physician Wang Yanzhou told reporters.
on the morning of the 10 day, the hospital set up our province's first hip dislocation patient's "one step home" to help the families in need.
according to the introduction, dislocation of the hip is the most common disease in pediatric department of orthopedics. The femoral head of children is not long in the hip fossa, but "free" to lose normal stretching function. Without timely treatment, it can cause lameness, hip pain, and even lifelong disability.
"generally speaking, the incidence of girls is 6~8 times that of boys, because girls are more likely to be affected by maternal hormones in the mother body, causing their ligaments to be very relaxed when they are just born." Wang Yanzhou said. But when the newborn is born, parents usually can't easily find out that their hip joints are out of order. "If parents find two asymmetrical thigh stripes or asymmetrical buttocks, they must go to the doctor for examination."
the incidence of dislocation of the hip joint is about 1 per thousand, but the incidence of the disease in Shandong is significantly higher, especially in the southwest of Shandong Province, the local incidence can reach 10 times more than the normal incidence rate, and it can reach 14 times in some ages.
"in Yuncheng County, in recent years, I have seen more than 2000 children with dislocation of the hip." Wang Yanzhou told reporters that later he learned that the incidence of high incidence in Southwest Shandong is related to the local infancy habit. There, many parents used to straighten the newborn's legs into "1" in order to prevent them. And there will be a bundle of sandbags, a pack of a day.
[within 6 weeks, it can be corrected in 1 months]
many parents find problems when they are learning to walk. "If you can find in 6 weeks, usually wear harness physical therapy, 95% children can be corrected in one month; within 6 months, the time of treatment will be multiplied by 2; later, the operation can only be found, and the operation may not be completely corrected."
"few children in the United States, Switzerland and other countries have hip dislocation because these countries have incorporated this examination into neonatal screening." Wang Yanzhou said.
in China, ultrasound examination of hip dislocation has not yet been included in the neonatal screening program, but some maternal and child health care institutions have been able to do this examination.
