Prerequisites
Normal human anatomy and physiology.
Learning outcomes
As a result of completing the study course, students obtain knowledge, which allows:
• to recognise congenital and acquired musculoskeletal pathologies in childhood, define aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment tactics, as well as prevention thereof;
• to define the specifics of paediatric traumatology and orthopaedics and the main differences from adult traumatology and orthopaedics.
As a result of completing the study course, students will be able:
• to take anamnesis in high quality;
• to perform a general clinical examination of the patient;
• to analyse the data obtained;
• to develop an individual examination plan for the patient;
• to develop a plan for the pre- and post-operative care of the child, formulate possible complications and options for the prevention thereof in the post-operative period;
• to formulate and justify an expanded clinical diagnosis based on differential diagnosis, and formulate treatment tactics (indications for conservative and operative treatment).
To independently develop a pre- and post-operative care plan for the child, formulate possible complications and how to prevent them;
To formulate and justify an expanded clinical diagnosis based on differential diagnosis, and formulate treatment tactics (indications for conservative and operative treatment).
