Surgical Treatment of Congenital High Standing of the Scapula in Children.

Abstract

According to literature data, high scapula standing among orthopedic diseases of congenital genesis according to the frequency of occurrence is 0.2-1% and belongs to the number of primary congenital deformities. This pathology is quite relevant due to the fact that the available classifications do not specify some forms of scapular deformities, in which the use of well-known methods of surgical treatment does not provide elimination of these deformities, which in turn prompts specialists to further study the diagnosis and treatment of congenital high scapular stance. From 2005 to 2021, 88 children from 3 to 14 years of age with congenital high scapula were undergoing examination and treatment at the Department of Pediatric Orthopedics of the RSNPMCTO. There were 27 (30%) boys and 61 (70%) girls. All patients underwent clinical examination - digital radiography, EMG, and MSCT. In these patients 11 (13%) patients underwent Ternovsky operation, 77 (87%) patients underwent Pozdeev operation.
