[The effect of reconstructive bone surgery in tubercular spondylitis on the development of the spinal column in young
Abstract:
Long-term results of reconstructive osteoplastic operations on the vertebral column performed for tuberculous spondylitis in 116 children, aged from 1 year and 4 months to 6 years, are presented. All of them were practically cured, thus having a complete recovery of their vertebral column supporting function; in 65.5% of these patients, there was a reduction of a cyphotic deformity with age; 18.7% of the operated persons, including merely 13% of the disabled in their childhood, had resumed their work and 23% of the patients were taken off the dispensary record upon their recovery. Osteoplastic reconstructions for tuberculous spondylitis performed in early childhood failed to affect a future growth of the vertebral column. Besides, they ensure a complete recovery of a child and should have the lead in the whole system of the up-to-date management of spondylitis in children.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
01:22Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
