This means that children's foot inversion is a very common sign in pediatric orthopedics, commonly known as horseshoe foot. Its disease is not closely related to bones, but is related to abnormal development of tendons and ligaments.

How did horseshoe feet come from? Some children can be detected in their mother's belly through the B-ultrasound in the middle and late stages of pregnancy before they were born, which means that it is likely that it is not an embryonic malformation, because it is almost not seen during the B-ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy.

Horses' hoofs appeared.

Generally, medical explanation is that horseshoe feet are horseshoe feet that appear during the mother's pregnancy, and the child changes from normal feet to horseshoe feet. The reason may be that the fetus is incorrect or the fetus is too large, and the child is compressed in the mother's uterus and causes the foot to deform.

.Because the only cause cannot be completely determined in medicine and other causes cannot be ruled out, doctors have been investigating whether factors including genetics cause abnormal pleat inversion during the development of children.

Like other diseases, horseshoe foot may be just a simple congenital foot malformation, or it may be a sign secondary to other diseases. The most common neurosurgery diseases secondary to other diseases, including

Neurological central system diseases and peripheral nervous system diseases. Neurological central system diseases are problems with the craniocerebral and spinal cord. This is a big deal and requires careful examination and identification by doctors.

Neurosurgery in pediatrics is similar to adults, which checks the children's consciousness and various shallow and deep reflexes. The only difference between children and adults is that infants and young children are growing and developing, unlike adults who have already developed.

This causes the child to have a perfect brain to grow when he is born. After the child is born, the brain will continue to develop, and the head will gradually grow along with the development of the entire body, which is reflected in the normal physiological range of the head circumference.

The probe circumference is a routine item during normal physical examinations for infants and young children. Emergency re-examination is mainly to prevent sudden diseases of children, and some parents are careless and do not take their children to undergo physical examinations on time.

Through the head circumference, we can know that the child's brain is developing and the brain development process will inevitably expand outward. In order to meet this growth needs, human physiological structure deliberately does not close all skull sutures immediately after birth, but waits for the child.

The brain is well developed and then the entire skull is combined to form the solidest helmet to protect the brain. Because of this, before the head grows, the heads of infants are much more fragile than those of adults. Once the brain trauma occurs in infants and young children, you can imagine

The notification is very serious than the adults.

Before the skulls grow together, the gap area left between them is vividly like a temporarily opened door, so it is called a fontanelle. There are two such fontanelle, one in the center of the child's head, and it is diamond-shaped.

For the anterior fontanelle, the complete closure must be waited for the child to be one and a half years old. The posterior fontanelle is the back of the triangular head. Some children have been closed as soon as they are born, and the latest closure is six to eight weeks.

Sometimes in clinical practice we can see that the child has a sharp head that seems to be deformed when he is born. Most of the reason why the anterior fontanelle is not closed, so there is no need to be nervous. It will naturally improve after the connection is completed. Experienced elderly people say it is when they are born.
