Current concept review of Sever's disease in paediatric age group
Orthopaedic Surgery, Dept., Faculty of Medicine, Benha Univ., Benha, Egypt
Abstract
Background: Sever's disease is directly associated with excessive usage of the heel bone and tendons. This may occur from any sports involving a lot of heel movement. The commencement of new sport or the beginning of new season may be linked with it. Children through puberty are particularly at danger since the heel bone is growing faster than the leg. The objective of this research was to conduct a current concept study on severity in the paediatric age range. Methods: This is an article of review, Searches in MEDLINE and Embase, Pubmed and CINAHL Plus were carried out within the same date period as follows: "Sever's disease; paediatric; orthopaedics." The most obvious sign of severe illness is heel discomfort, typically exacerbated by physical activity like walking, jogging, or skipping. Sometimes the discomfort may be so intense that it limps and affects physical performance in athletics. Sever's disease is most often clinically diagnosed and many doctors feel that radiographic assessment is unnecessary, however if calcaneal apophysitis is not identified without x-rays, an injury needing more severe treatment may be overlooked. Edematous alterations in calcaneal apophysis may occur via MRI, which may spread to neighbouring calcaneal tuberosity, The research indicates that most people with the Sever illness are able to return to sport in a few weeks to two months with appropriate management.
