About Calcium Metabolism Disorders

Calcium metabolism disorders in pediatric orthopedics involve a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to manage conditions where the body's calcium regulation is disrupted, leading to bone abnormalities. These disorders, such as hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia, or vitamin D deficiency, can cause rickets, osteomalacia, fractures, and growth plate disturbances in children. A pediatric orthopedic specialist evaluates the child's medical history, conducts physical exams, and orders blood tests (calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, PTH) and imaging (X-rays, DEXA scans) to assess bone health. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause and may include dietary modifications, vitamin D and calcium supplementation, medications, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to correct bone deformities or manage fractures. The goal is to restore normal calcium balance, promote healthy bone development, and prevent long-term orthopedic complications.

Key Highlights

Specialized care for children's growing bones and unique metabolic needs.Multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinologists, nutritionists, and orthopedic surgeons.Focus on early diagnosis to prevent permanent bone deformities and growth issues.Personalized treatment plans combining medical management, nutritional support, and possible orthopedic surgery.Long-term monitoring to ensure optimal bone health and development into adulthood.

Who is this surgery for?

Clinical signs of rickets such as bowed legs, knock knees, or delayed fontanelle closure.
Unexplained bone pain, muscle weakness, or frequent fractures in children.
Abnormal blood test results showing low calcium, high phosphate, or low vitamin D levels.
Radiographic evidence of osteomalacia, bone demineralization, or growth plate widening.
Underlying conditions like chronic kidney disease, malabsorption syndromes, or genetic disorders affecting calcium metabolism.
Severe bone deformities requiring surgical correction (e.g., osteotomy).

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical history review and physical examination focusing on growth patterns and bone development.
Blood tests to measure serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels.
Imaging studies such as X-rays of long bones and wrists, and possibly a DEXA scan for bone density assessment.
Nutritional assessment and dietary counseling to evaluate calcium and vitamin D intake.
Consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist to identify and manage the underlying metabolic cause.
For surgical cases, pre-anesthetic evaluation and discussion of the procedure, risks, and benefits with the family.

Risks & possible complications

Incomplete correction of bone deformities, especially in severe or long-standing cases.
Surgical risks if osteotomy is performed: infection, bleeding, nerve or blood vessel injury.
Anesthesia-related complications in pediatric patients.
Recurrence of deformities if the underlying metabolic disorder is not adequately controlled.
Over- or under-correction with supplementation leading to hypercalcemia or persistent hypocalcemia.
Growth plate injury during surgery, potentially affecting future bone growth.
Non-union or delayed union of osteotomy sites.

Recovery & hospital stay

Post-surgery, the child may need casting or bracing to immobilize the corrected bones for several weeks.
Pain management with appropriate pediatric medications and monitoring for signs of infection.
Strict adherence to prescribed calcium and vitamin D supplementation regimen.
Regular follow-up visits for clinical assessment, blood tests, and imaging to monitor healing and metabolic control.
Gradual reintroduction of weight-bearing activities and physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.
Long-term nutritional guidance and sun exposure advice to maintain adequate vitamin D levels.
Ongoing monitoring of growth and bone development until skeletal maturity.

Typical hospital stay: 0-3 days
Expected recovery time: 6 weeks to 6 months

PATIENT REVIEW

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
