Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world and the second largest cause of cancer deaths . In clinical screening methods for the detection of this cancer uses the analysis of stool samples and structural studies . Colonoscopy as a screening method is used frequently in the United States , whereas in Europe and Australia, widespread is to perform immunochemical fecal test ( FIT ) .

Colon cancer develops as a result of uncontrolled cell growth by the body within one of the large intestine ( caecum , the ascending , transverse , descending colon or rectum ) .

Musculoskeletal ultrasonography

Musculoskeletal ultrasonography performed by an orthopaedist and preceded by clinical examination provides you with a quick and effective solution to the problem of the skeletal, articular and muscular system. This examination provides an answer to any doubts arising during the classic medical examination, allows accurate diagnosis and implementation of appropriate treatment.

Ultrasonography allows for location of even the smallest pathology of soft tissues and, if necessary, their precise puncture and administration of medication directly to the affected place. An ultrasound scan is a painless and safe produce lasting 10 to 20 minutes.

Ultrasonography is an important and reliable source of information for the physician. It is a test that does not require any special preparation that can be repeated numerous times without harm to the patient's health.

Why it is necessary to examine the hips of new-borns and infants?

The purpose of preventive examinations of the hips is to identify new-borns whose hips is built in an abnormal manner, posing a threat to intensification of the dysplasia, including dislocation of the hip. Every day of this new-born’s life causes deterioration of the defect, and seemingly short period of 2 weeks of delay in treatment negates the chances of some infants for the full recovery, avoiding surgery and serious complications such as necrosis of the femur head. The congenital dislocation of the hip joint concerns about 1-2 per cent of the population. Failure to detect developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) immediately after birth and development of secondary lesions may lead to permanent disorders of the hip. Parents can increase the chances of normal development of the hip joints of their children by putting them in a position allowing for correction of the shape of the hip: above 90 degrees hip flexion (knees are above the buttocks), abduction of about 50 degrees. Some joints with a shallow acetabulum does not present any clinical symptoms for many years, until the joints are completely damaged, which is indicated by pain. To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to perform ultrasonography. Ultrasonographic examination of each new-born child in the neonatal department would be an ideal situation. The physician does not just only diagnose potential incorrect shape of the hip, but can also distinguish which abnormalities require treatment and which only observation and prevention.

When it is best to examine hip joints of a small child?

• as soon as possible after birth
• between 4 and 6 weeks of age
• after 3 months of age
• after 6 months of age.

Treatment of hip joints

In case there is any hip joint pathology, the dates for further checks are shortened and are determined by the treating physician based on the severity of the disease and treatment progress.

If necessary, we immediately implement treatment. Parents are instructed on how to proceed and how to take care of the child.
