Combined spine and pelvis injuries in children living in conditions of harmful impact of aluminium industry

The orthopedic and x-ray studies of children of different ages with combined diseases of the spine and pelvis, living under constant effects of the harmful production factors induced by the aluminium production of Irkutsk region, have been conducted. The priority factor of exogenous risk to health is fluoride compounds. It has been established that in the structure of the combined pathology, the pelvis asymmetry ranks first, scoliosis ranks second, Legg - Calve - Perthes disease ranks third. According to the assessment of age structure of combined pathology we can conclude that at the equal manifestations of scoliosis, Spina bifida, retrospondylolisthesis, pelvis asymmetry, children of 11-15 y.o. more often have Legg - Calve - Perthes disease, children of 16-21 y.o. - coxarthrosis. We established statistically significant correlation between Legg - Calve - Perthes disease and age and sex of the children (Pearson''s χ2 at p 2 = 5.264, p
