ORTHOPEDIC PATHOLOGY IN THE CHILDREN OF DIFFERENT AGE AND GENERALIZED HYPERMOBILITY OF JOINTS
700 childrens of 3-17 years in the preschool establishments and schools of the Voronez are examined. Study of anamnesis, the anthropometry and clinical examination of orthopedist, neurologist, pediatrist are carried out. The authors applied the modified test Beighton for estimation of hypermobility of joints. Hypermobility of joints is observed in 26,7% of children. Orthopedic pathology in the patients with hypermobility of joints is registred in 1,5 times more often. Hypermobility of joints can be consider as a marker of orthopedic pathology in the children. Hypermobility of joints is the base for forming static deformations of scelet with progress. For the children with hypermobility it is necessary to carry out systematic prophylactic examination at early age (together orthopedist,neurology and pediatrist) that allows to create orthopedic regimen, early rehabilitation and to prevent development of structural scelet deformations.
