Seikei-geka” is called orthopedic surgery
in English. This term is originated from the study that corrects the child's deformity
the word pedi -(meaning of infant) was joined to word ortho (meaning of correctional
). I think that I symbolize the concept of the infant orthopedics department
study of adding the correction to help this to grow up correctly well though
the symbol of the orthopaedic surgery bundles a curved tree to a straight stick
and is used the picture put up.
That is, the orthopedic tree (the symbol of orthopedic surgery) ,which represents a curved tree
bundled to a straight bar,will
illustrates the concept of the pediatric
orthopedics which helps pediatric skeltons to grow correctly be condensed to the pediatric orthopaedic surgery.
For years we have studied the pediatric orthopedics
in shiga center for children in shiga prefecture. During the period,we have
come to realize that the medical correct diagnosis and treatment in their
childhood make a big influence on a motor
function in their lifetime.
Let me show you one example.
Congenital dislocation of the hip is one of
the most popular condition in pediatric orthopedics, developmental when
discovered in the appropriate timing, and treated correctly, almost 100% when overlocked
or initial treatment not properly done, the patients will be left with irreducible complications,or prolonged
treatment. In other words, failure in the initial manegemant often results in permanent
seguelae.
However, there is unexpectedly little symptom
in the infant and juvenile period even if a considerable problem is left for the hip joint.
There is often what to notice abnormality come of age, appear coxalgia
and the unbalance, etc. , and found for the first time in my hip joint.
It is said that there are quite a lot of degenerative hip diseases that
there is a cause in the dislocation of the hip of such an infancy (transformable
groin arthropathy) in Japan. Most was and there was a previous history
of the congenital dislocation of the hip though the operation on the total
hip replacement was performed every week when I was training in Kyoto University.
Because the movement machine disease of the
infant period like this will often influence during the future, it ..doing.. is
a motto of the staff we of skyclinic from the infant to the adult overall as
for the diagnosis and treatment by all age groups. do to the back ground of the
knowledge of the infant orthopedics department study
It is not until hip pain or limp develop in adulthood that they notice
that they have some problem in their hips.
