The First kernel of the large bone ossification appears in

a 7-8 weeks aged embryo within its in uteri development. Consequently, at this time it is possible to consider that bones of the child skeleton arise.

After birth the size of skeleton increases very intensively according the

mass and length growth of baby body. In this period at list until to 3 years of age the child skeleton can not be estimated as stable, firm structure. So called the bone rebuilding processes are running very intensively. Alongside with bones growing lengthwise and width, big importance has a realignment of the direction of bone beems under gravitation stimulus influence changing in its direction within childhood.

The fetus and newborn have a sponge like bone masses (A).

After age of 3-4 years children have the lamellar built big bones and their bone beems are orientated strictly against earth attraction (gravity, Б). For the first year of the life about 70% bone tissues are reutilized and rebuilt.
Слайд 6

The regeneration and healing processes in child bones occur in contrast

The regeneration and healing processes in child bones occur in

contrast with adult much sooner. Because of sponge like construction and special in contrast with adults chemical composition (pro rata more significant contents of water and organic material vs. mineral materials) the children bones are soft and flexible. That is way children are less predisposed to fractures by comparison with adults.
Слайд 7

Periosteal tissues (a bone cover) provide supplemental trofic function. By comparison

Periosteal tissues (a bone cover) provide supplemental trofic function. By comparison

with adult persons in children it makes the massive stretchy formation over the bones and can play an additional protective role to resist fractures. Even if the child brakes a bone there can be found only so called “subperiosteum fracture” (the fracture without bone parts offset). The other name of this fracture is toddler`s variant on type of "green branch".

3 parameters associated with bone tissue development and biochemicaly same

teeth matrix should participate in biological child age estimationon.

The Biological age can be evaluated on:
child growth (body length or height),
terms of bone ossification (ossification centers appearing),
terms of dentition (appearing of constant teeth).

The Short Notion about kernels of the ossification.

In wrist commonly used

for bone age determination after birth the kernels (centers) of ossification come up in strictly determined sequences. The first kernel is forming in wrist in 6 months aged child. The one year old baby usually has two wrist ossification centers. And since the second year until the 9 each year adds 1 kernel more to the wrist. There are possible individual fluctuations, but, as a rule, spurt or decelerated of their appearance is important to indicate deceleration or speedup of the bone age in contrast with the passport age. This considerations are widely used for diagnostic work up in endocrinology.

The bone, growth, teeth and passport age coincidence is indicative

for the normal biological development in a child. If the age of psychic development also corresponds to the biological and passport ages you should consider the child as a harmoniously developed one. In opposite event the conclusion about decelerated, accelerated or disproportional child development has to be done.

Complaints

"Pains of the growing" are typical bed time accidental and self

limited symptoms in a 4-5 years old children. Their origin is unclear. The pain in legs could be provoked by intensively periosteum stretching due to quick growth and nervous superstimulation. Often this "Pains" are provoked with previous high motor activity especially at evening. The Particularities of care. "Pains of the growing" should be overcame by careful inattention from side of the parents. If the child really require a help the heat procedures and massage are sufficient.

Complaints

The Flat foot Pains disturb some children commonly in shank and

appear more often at evening time after physical load. Do not forget that in children aged less 2 years the "physiological" flat foot exists. This phenomenon is better seen in a child standing on the table or having wet imprint from the feet. It disappears in tiptoe position. The guidelines of flat feet prevention and care are directed on the normal formed arc of foot shaping in a child. From the infancy the kid chooses must have an enough hard sole and low heel. If the foot is shaping flat the insole supported internal part of foot can be used.

Complaints

The most serious pain symptom which could be claimed by the

child is a night pain in bones. This pain often wakes up the child. Also it accompanies by sensations of blood pulsations and vascular noises. This symptom can be provoked by malignancy of bone (osteosarcoma) or leukemia (the bone tissues decay occurs due to leukemic cells infiltration). Also the bacterial osteomyelitis can be origin of this pain .

The skull

Слайд 23

In newborns and early infants the skull has more developed brain

In newborns and early infants the skull has more developed brain

part in contrast with a face skeleton. The brain skull consists from paired or dabbled bones including frontal bones and unpaired occipital bone. The opened and formed by elastic membranes sutures separate one scull bone from another. This sutures are closing within the infancy period but lock up completely only in school age. This process is identified as a synostosis.
There are a fontanels in points of bones joining on. Anterior fontanel is situated between frontal and temporal bones. Its normal size at birth is 2-3 sm referring to a measurement perpendicular to the bone edges. Its synostosis occurs in age between 4 to 18 mo. Posterior fontanel is found between temporal and occipital bones. It is locked in 75% of full term newborns. In rest of the children the posterior fontanel closes by the end of the first month of life.
Слайд 24

During the difficult labor the skull bone edges are crawling one

another one. This is a molding. The molding can be palpated easy on a kid head and it reflects the physiological phenomena of head adjustment to delivery.
The broadly opened and soft skull sutures are indicative for hydrocephalus. In opposite event the premature scull sutures lock happens and skull is getting small. The small head size reflects microcephalus as a reduction in volume of the whole brain skull. The circumfiarence of the child head are smaller than 5-th percentille size. Often children with microcephalus suffer from mental deficit disorders and spasticity.
The pathological craniosynostosis is the disorder leading to skull growth partial limitation and various head deformations happen.

The kraniotabes is unusual softness of infantile skull. It can develop

as a sign of vitamin-D-deficient rickets at age of 3 - 9 months. Do not forget that rickets causes systemic changes in different divisions of skeleton.

In this children with rickets dependent osteomalacia the skull asymmetries had appeared also as a result of long-lasting lying on crib in a room with lateral source of light.
For prevention of asymmetric deformations (and not only for this) it is necessary to take the child on hands more often and to change his position in bed.

The Cephalhematoma is a wide-spreaded delivery trauma of bones forming skull

arc in newborns. The Cephalhematoma resultes as a traumatic damage of superostium. The Blood enters from ruptured diplopic vessels under superostium, separetes it from the skull bone and accumulates in the subsuperostium area. The resorbtion of hematome occurs spontaneously and in common situations does not require any treatment. It is a typical example of so called self limited disease.

be flat in anterior-posterior axis in school age. In small children the breathing mostly is provided by diaphragm. The ribs for the first year of life are located horizontally as they were in position of the maximum inspiration in adults. When the child begins to walk the diaphragm is lowered gradually and ribs take a tilt position.

Spinal curves

In newborns the spine is direct with a small protuberance

backwards in the area of rump. There are not cervical, thorax or pelvic physiological spine deviations in anterior-posterior direction. They will be very useful for amortization of the spinal column when the child walks, jumps.
After the child lies in prone position and begins to raise slightly the head upwards the cervical lordosis (onwards spinal arc) is forming. When the child starts to sit down the lumbar lordosis and to stand up the chest kyphosis will appear. The cases of the exaggerated lordosis and kyphosis (backwards spinal arc especially in thorax) are defined as hyperlordosis and hyperkiphosis and are to be treated.
Слайд 38

The spine deviations aside are never being physiological and are

nominated as scoliotic.

One of the predisposing factors of scoliosis development is a phenomenon of functional human body asymmetry. By other words the left and right half of human body are seldom completely alike on size. Under monotonous load deforming spine the accustomed or functional scoliosis can appear.
That is way the parents and school teachers have to pay much attention on children bearing shaping. It means a pose correction at letter in school, advise do not carry briefcases etc. The bed in childhood has to have an enough hard better orthopedic mattress. All motor sports especially swimming as a rule promote the correct bearing shaping.
The pathological scoliosis appears as result of preceding diseases of bones and muscles.

In young children the tubular bones are filled with the

actively-functioning red marrow. The long tubular bones include several parts. The diathesis and epiphysis parts are united with a soft cartilago`s layer. It is metaphysis or growing zone of tubular bone. The presence of such layer in radix in area of wrist joint in children of first three years of life can predispose them to bone trauma in type of metaphysic-take-off. Most often this type of bone fracture happens as a result of sudden child hand pulling up, for instance, if the child falls when the parent keeps him by his hand.

Limb` deformations

It is known that multiple symmetric deformations of upper and

lower limbs are characteristic of severe rickets. Especially so called knock-knee (valgus or X-shaped) deformity of knees or bowleg like deformity - varus angulation (О-shaped or genu varum) are related with rickets in children.
However it must be kept in mind that in children younger 2 yr the first impression is that their legs are slightly varus – formed, and children aged 2-7 yr – valgus - formed.

DDH evaluation

Barlow test is the most important maneuver in examination of

the newborn hip. This is a provocative test that attempts to dislocate the unstable hip. The examiner stabilizes the infant's pelvis with one hand and then flexes and adducts the opposite hip and applies a posterior force. If the hip is dislocatable, this usually is readily felt. After release of the posterior pressure, the hip will usually relocate spontaneously.

DDH evaluation

The Ortolani test is a maneuver to reduce a

recently dislocated hip. The result is most likely to be positive in infants 1-2 mo of age because adequate time must have passed for the true dislocation to have occurred.
In test, the infant's thigh is flexed and abducted and the femoral head is lifted anteriorly into the acetabulum. If reduction is possible, the relocation will be felt as a "clunk," not heard as a "click." After 2 mo of age, manual reduction of a dislocated hip is not usually possible because of the development of soft tissue contractures.

The appearing of baby teeth (or primary deciduous teeth) is

called as a dentition. The dentition or teething begins in children aged 6-7 mo. The process can de written by formula where the teeth are marked with five first letters of Latin alphabet. A one year old baby as a rule has all 8 primary incisors. This deciduous dentition (teeth formula) is:

The caries and toothache in children.

The caries is a destruction of

hard tissues of tooth. The initial caries can exist as a painless dental cavity up to the moment when it reaches the soft part of teeth - a pulp.
Thereby if the painful tooth is damaged by caries the toothache is always the pulpitis sign. The pulpitis is characteristic for extensive or wide-spread dental caries often accompanied with bacteremia and its septic complications.

Basic dental anatomy: 1 - enamel; 2 - dentin; 3 - gingival margin; 4 - pulp; 5 - cementum; 6 - periodontal ligament; 7 - alveolar bone;

Some features of muscles

The hystomorfological studies of muscular tissues in young

children show the short and thick myocytes containing big amount of cell nuclei, abundance of interstitium and blood vessels.
The children skeleton muscles comparatively with such adults contain less myosin and actine contractive proteins and more water. As a result the children muscles are very stretchable and are not prone to ruptures.
The strength of muscular contractions is lesser then in adults.
It is considered that intensive blood flow in children muscles promote quick elimination of acidity forming during muscular load. This fact explains the high physiological muscular activity in children which can feel the true muscular joy moving. In any event it is prohibited to limit children in their motor activity.
Common muscular mass begins to increase only in teens - from 22 - 25% from body weight in pre-pubertal children up to 45% in male-teenagers aged 15 years. The muscular mass increasing occurs by account of each myocyte size increasing. The represented facts undoubtedly witness that so called "body building" and other athletics are for children younger 13 meaningless and even harmful.

The complaints most often concern such subjective

sensations of pain in limbs and motion restriction. This complaints commonly are related with consequences of traumas which happen in children very often.
The spontaneous pain is characteristic for myalgia. For children it is very typical the muscular pains related with fever. The mechanism of their origin is not clear yet.
