Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of vitamin D deficiency on the development of various diseases of the musculoskeletal system in children and adolescents. 120 patients were examined from 1.5 months (6 weeks) to 15 years from 2018 to 2020 years. They had different orthopedic disorders. There were 69 girls and 51 boys. 4 subgroups were divided according to the clinic: A. Hip joint dysplasia (25 pat.), B. Disorder of body constitution, posture (35 pat.), scoliosis (15 pat.), C. Bone deformation of the lower extremities (21 pat.), D. Delay in growth rate (24 pat). The results of this research look like: We found no difference between vitamin D levels in healthy (control group) and group A. Although the bone deformation of the lower extremities up to two years is considered physiological, we have found low levels of vitamin D without rickety changes in the bones on a radiograph. There is a discussion about the importance of vitamin D and Ca in the development of scoliosis. We found a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and clinical deterioration and negative dynamics on vertebral radiographs (group B1). Ca levels remained in normal range.
