We are all no strangers to Liu Luoban, the wise and resourceful hunchbacked chancellor who left a deep impression on people. But from a modern perspective, Liu Luoban was actually a patient with severe scoliosis. “If he had lived in modern times, it would have been entirely possible for him to straighten his back through surgery, but the key is that the surgery should be done in time. According to current clinical statistics, the incidence rate of scoliosis is 2% to 3%, and is dominated by adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14. But in fact can really get treatment and cured patients are not many, the reason is that an operation often need 80,000 yuan to 180,000 yuan ranging from the cost, the more serious the disease, designed to the operation surface about wide, the higher the cost of treatment, the average family can not afford. “At that time it was to save money, did not go to surgery, now think about it really should not, almost delayed the child.” In the clinic every day will meet the parents of this, a mother from Gansu, she mentioned in the clinic, found that the child crest “wrong” when he was in elementary school, because at that time or the body is not uncomfortable did not care, and so after a period of time, found that the child’s height is low, only to go to the hospital for examination, the doctor at that time has been recommended for surgery, on the one hand, do not want to affect the child’s learning, on the other hand, do not go to surgery, the doctor has recommended for surgery. On the one hand, do not want to affect the child’s learning, on the other hand, the family does not have so much money, think about the child’s body is not uncomfortable, did not care, in the hospital to the child ordered a brace to wear, wear a few years of orthodontic devices, the child’s scoliosis degree is getting more and more serious, scoliosis degree of nearly one hundred hundred degrees, this time is very regrettable. Teenage children’s bodies are in the development stage, found that the disease if not treated for a long time, resulting in the degree of scoliosis is too large, may affect the normal functioning of human organs. “Sometimes whistling and eating may be difficult. If the scoliosis is closer to the head, the greater the risk of surgery, of course, the higher the cost of treatment. Scoliosis treatment parents often make the mistake: wear orthotics can cure Special reminder: more than 40 degrees to be operated Many patients and their families have a certain degree of luck, found that scoliosis, and did not go to the regular hospital treatment, but hope that through the orthotics to correct the scoliosis, not all the scoliosis can be cured through the orthotics, wear the orthotics to treat the scoliosis mainly for the scoliosis is not too serious, the scoliosis degree of 20 degrees, the scoliosis degree of 20 degrees of the scoliosis of the scoliosis of the head, the risk is greater, of course, the higher the cost of the treatment. Not all scoliosis can be cured by orthotics. Orthotics are mainly used for children and adolescents who have less severe scoliosis with scoliosis between 20 and 40 degrees. Once the scoliosis exceeds 40 degrees, surgery is usually necessary. A common misconception among parents about scoliosis treatment: Surgery affects growth Special note: There is no direct relationship between the two Many parents worry that surgery will affect their child’s continued growth. Many parents are worried that the surgery will affect their child’s growth. We remind you that this worry is unnecessary because the surgery first loosens a section of the crest and then puts in an iron nail, and the upper and lower crests are still growing. Furthermore, in adolescent patients, height growth is mainly dependent on the growth of the bones in the extremities. With improved surgical methods, the trauma of scoliosis surgery and the patient’s hospital stay have been dramatically reduced, and minimally invasive navigational surgery is now available for scoliosis up to 90 degrees, “You can walk on the ground in four days after surgery, and you can be discharged from the hospital in seven days.” After the operation and then wear three months of protective gear, mainly to protect the stability of the lumbar region, to avoid the occurrence of falls affecting the crestal column, the crestal column can be basically returned to normal.
