Shandong baby's congenital legs "pretend", Wuhan experts helped her "straight" her legs

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client September 1st (Reporter Wang Chunlan Correspondent Xue Yuan) As soon as the baby was born, the two calves were abnormally turned up to the chest, like a toy doll in the legs. Grandpa and grandma carefully guarded the baby girl from Shandong to Wuhan, and asked Wuhan pediatric experts to help her "straighten" her legs. Recently, parents sent a video newspaper from Shandong: the child kicked his legs like an ordinary baby, and learned to turn over.

The baby girl named Guoguo (pseudonym) is a sister in twins. As early as during pregnancy, the doctor found that there was an abnormal development of a fetus and a knee deformity. It is normal to know that the children's other development indicators are normal.

In April this year, Guoguo was born. Her sister was completely normal, but her legs seemed to be reversed, and she turned to her chest. Earlier, the family searched on the Internet and found that there were many similar cases reporting in the media. Among them, Shen Xiantao, chief physician of the orthopedic department of Wuhan Children's Hospital, successfully treated too many children with knee reaction. They managed to contact Shen Xiantao. When Guoguo was 17 days old, her grandparents carefully guarded her and brought her to Wuhan for medical treatment.

When he came to Han for medical treatment, the legs of Guoguo were obviously abnormal.

"This baby girl's left knee joint turned inside, the right knee joint turned out, and the two legs flexed were severely limited. The right leg could only be passively flexed to about 20 degrees. Bend. "Shen Xiantao judged that Guo Guo's bilateral knee joints, cymbals, and hip joints were severely dislocated, and the condition was complicated. You could only use plaster and reset the combination of the knee joints as much as possible. After solving, come to the treatment of hip dislocation.

After treatment, the doctor helped Guoguo "straight" his legs.

Since then, the doctor regularly massage the fruit to help relax the leg muscles. Replace the gypsum every week, gradually increase the flexion angle of the knee joint, allow the knee joint to reset smoothly, and "straighten" the legs. Since then, the surgery has improved the condition of the bone.

At present, Guoguo has been discharged from the hospital. Not long ago, Shen Xiantao received a video sent by his parents. The child's legs were much more normal. They could kick and turn around like other babies. After a while, she also needed to come to Wuhan again to treat congenital hip dislocation problems.

Why does the newborns have knee anti -curved deformities?沈先涛分析，这与孩子先天性肌肉、韧带、髌骨发育不好有关，稍受压就容易出现脱位；另一方面，也可能与胎儿在宫内羊水过少、子宫过小甚至异常体位有关，导致The fetal legs have been oppressed for a long time. This kind of situation is more common in baby girls, and there are currently no effective prevention measures.

He particularly reminded that knee deformities were rare orthopedic congenital diseases. Some parents believed that this was a malformation that could not be changed and gave up treatment. In fact, the vast majority of children can recover more idealized in the method of resetting and gypsum fixing in the infantile period, and even no need to perform surgery. However, if you miss the golden period of treatment, the child will be fixed after the child grows up to four or five years old, and it will be difficult to walk normally in the future.
