METHOD OF DETERMINING DYNAMICS OF GROWTH OF VERTEBRA UNIT, FORMED IN ZONE OF HEMIVERTEBRA EXTIRPATION, IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B6/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, in particular to orthopedics, and can be used to determine dynamics of bone unit of vertebras, formed in zone of hemivertebra extirpation, in children. By radiograph in lateral projection height of three segments of spine is measured: first - unit of vertebras, second - part of spine, which includes body of above-lying intact vertebra with adjacent to its lower closing plate intervertebral disc and upper part of unit of vertebras to the zone of hemivertebra extirpation, and third - part of spine, which includes body of underlying intact vertebra with adjacent to its upper closing plate intervertebral disc and lower part of unit of vertebras to the zone of hemivertebra extirpation. Conclusion about unit growth dynamics is made by performing comparison with dynamics of growth of segments.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase accuracy of determination of dynamics of bone unit of vertebras, formed in zone of extirpation of vertebra developed in a faulty way.
