Sep 13, 2024

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, seeks a solution for the growth of a worried child in TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2', which is scheduled to air on the 13th, because he is shorter and less active than his peers.

Lee Tae-hyun, the writer, is having an uncomfortable daily life with his short height, such as his feet not touching the ground when he sits on a chair (10) and having to use a chair to pick up things from high places. In addition, parents are worried because their physical strength is low, such as low activity and difficulty easily getting tired even if they move a little.

Currently, Lee Tae-hyun is 126cm tall, 9cm shorter than his average peer height of 135cm. In the broadcast, various tests such as imaging tests, endocrine tests, hormone tests, and spinal tests are conducted, including physical measurements, and causes and solutions for slow growth are presented.

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said "Lee Tae-hyun is in the bottom 6th percentile, and although he is short, he is not pathological low-growth, and his bone age is about 12 months younger, so he can grow a year longer than his other peers."Since it is important to understand the flow of growth, it is important for parents to keep an eye on how many centimeters they grow per year " he said.

In the broadcast, screening tests solve various questions, such as how to prevent spinal bending that negatively affects height growth, how to increase the correlation and activity between activity and growth, and how to arouse interest in children who hate exercise.

In the section looking for adult joint health and hidden height, the results of the surgery of Ban Chae-sook (73, female), who was helping her son and grandchild with pain despite her poor knee health, will be revealed in the second episode. At that time, Ban Chae-sook was uncomfortable in all her daily life due to her joints, and both knees were diagnosed with the fourth stage of degenerative arthritis and decided to perform knee artificial joint surgery.

Kim Yoo-geun, head of the orthopedic surgery clinic at Bupyeong Himchan Hospital, said "Both knees have undergone artificial joint surgery due to end-stage arthritis, with a deformity of the right leg of about 10 degrees."After surgery, the deformed right leg was corrected, and the hidden height was found about 3 cm."
