EFFECT OF DYSPLASTIC INSTABILITY OF THE CERVICAL SPINE ON THE FORMATION OF NEURORTHOPDIC PATHOLOGY IN CHILDREN
The article discusses the main causes of development and clinical features of the instability of the cervical spine in children of different ages. A clinical and instrumental study of 146 children was carried out to determine the relationshi p between dysplastic instability of the cervical spine and clinical manifestations of neuroorthopedic pathology. Risk factors for the formation of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) were identified, signs of osteoligamentous dysplasia on radiographs of the cervical spine and external phenotypic osteoarticular and muscle signs of UCTD in children with instability of the cervical spine were identified. Predicting the development of connective tissue dysplasia before the birth of a child with preventive measures, as well as early diagnosis of pathological conditions and timely treatment will prevent the formation of chronic somatic, neurological and orthopedic diseases.
