What disease is Kashin Beck disease

summary

Kashin Beck disease (KBD) is a kind of local disease of bone protrusion, enlargement and deformation. Some people may become dwarfs for a lifetime because of this, and they don't know what causes it. This disease is easy to form local infection. Now let's popularize what KBD is.

What disease is Kashin Beck disease

First, Kashin Beck disease is a kind of endemic and deformable osteoarthropathy, which is also called dwarf disease and abacus bead disease in China, and is called Kaschin Beck disease in international medical circles. Kashin Beck disease is mainly distributed in eastern Siberia and Northern Korea in foreign countries. It is widely distributed in China. It occurs in the vast areas from northeast to southwest, mainly in Hei, Ji, Liao, Shan, Jin and other provinces, mostly in mountainous and semi mountainous areas, and rarely in plains. It can be found in all age groups, especially in children and adolescents, but rarely in adults.

Second, the typical manifestations are dwarfism, enlargement of bone ends, limited joint movement and pain. The younger the age of onset, the more obvious the joint deformation and dwarfism. The symptoms of adult patients are lighter, often limited to joints.

Third: symptomatic treatment can reduce pain, with obvious joint deformity can be treated by surgery, because of free body caused by interlocking and pain can be removed free body, because the lip is too much and too large and affect joint activity can be lip resection to improve function, joint varus, valgus can be osteotomy. Because of multiple bilateral or multiple lesions, arthrodesis is not suitable.

matters needing attention

Kashin Beck disease mostly occurs in a person's childhood. If we don't pay attention to stepping up treatment, it will bring irreparable consequences, and it will always endanger the health of children in our country. Therefore, we must popularize the science of Kashin Beck disease for everyone.
