西藏大骨节病病区肱骨短小症与大骨节病关系的分析

Relationship between short humerus disease and Kashin Beck disease in Kaschin-Beck disease areas in Tibet

作者报告三个全新的观点：1．西藏大骨节病病区骨病构成十分复杂，有多种骨病并存，应注意鉴别；2．西藏大骨节病的临床表现与内地有本质区别；3．在西藏存在大骨节病新的临床亚型，即以“肱骨短小、身材矮小和手足正常”为主要临床表现的特殊类型。本发现使得对大骨节病的认识更为深刻而全面，对大骨节病的研究和防治具有重要意义。

Three new points of view were reported in this study： 1. Found out the distribution of Kaschin- Beck disease （KBD） in Tibet, the complexity of bone disease composition, and the types of osteopathy coexisted which need to be identified; 2. The clinical symptoms of KBD in Tibet were significantly different from those in other areas of our country; 3. The new clinical subtypes of KBD were found in Tibet, which had humeral shortness and short stature, but with normal hands and feet. This discovery made us understand KBD more profoundly and comprehensively, and promoted the research and prevention work of KBD.
