Dysplasia is a violation of the formation of tissues and organs. How dangerous is this pathology?

Dysplasia - a disease that is characterized by a violation of the formation of any organs or tissues. There is a huge number of species of this pathology. For example: dysplasia of connective tissues, the solid part of the tooth, fibrous and metaepiphysic dysplasia, as well as cervical and hip joints. We will dwell on the last two, which are most common.

Hip Dysplasia

Factors contributing to the development of the disease, many. Most of them are related to the course of pregnancy. For example:

• Fetal bones begin to form almost from the very beginning of the child's birth until the very birth. If the future mother will not eat well, then the baby will not receive those essential microelements and nutrients that are responsible for strengthening the osteochondral cartilage apparatus.
• Incorrect position of the child in the abdomen (breech presentation), lack of water, the presence of uterine fibroids - all this contributes to the fact that the basis of the cartilaginous joint is poorly developed and the formation of its surface is wrong.
• Dysplasia is a disease that can lead to the presence of harmful habits of a pregnant woman, provoking an incorrect formation of bones.
• An unfavorable ecological atmosphere or a harmful profession of the mother.
• Hereditary factors.
• Late pregnancy.

Dysplasia: degrees

• The first degree (pre-exertion) is when the hip joint has not fully formed, and the femoral head has not shifted with respect to the acetabulum .
• The second degree of dysplasia (subluxation) is an inborn underdevelopment of the joint with a slight displacement of the femur.
• The third degree of dysplasia (dislocation) is a not fully formed joint with complete loss from the joint cavity of the femoral head.

Symptoms of pathology

Dysplasia is a disease that can be suspected by the mother herself, as many of his signs are visible to the naked eye. For example:

• The presence of asymmetrical folds around the buttocks.
• Appearance of additional folds on the thigh, both on the inside and on the outside.
• Impossibility of breeding the legs of the baby.
• The presence of a click with the legs bent at the hip and knees. This is the most obvious symptom of dysplasia, which indicates the direction of subluxation.
• In more neglected cases, one lower limb may be shortened. In this case, it is worth considering that to carry out the measurement is as follows: the child lies on his back with knees bent at the knees, and his feet rest on the floor. It is necessary to evaluate the height of the location of the knee joints relative to each other. The affected leg will be lower.
• At an age when the baby starts walking, dysplasia is already visible to everyone around him - he has a so-called duck walk. Lameness can also be observed on the aching leg.

To do this, use special outlets, for example Pavlik's stirrups (from 1 to 6-8 months) or a retracting tire with tutors (from 6-8 months). All this is mandatory only appointed by an orthopedic physician.
