The pathology of the hip joints in children is the object of increased attention of specialists both in our country and abroad. Despite the wide coverage of this problem, most studies are devoted to analysis of the advantages of various surgical intervention technologies. To determine the significance of differences in hemogram indices in children with different nosological forms of hip joint pathology and indicators of healthy children. Hemogram and leukoformula parameters were determined in 10 healthy children and 47 children with hip joint pathology. The significance of differences in indicators compared with the norm and between different nosological groups of patients was evaluated. The dynamics of hemogram changes was evaluated at a long time after surgery. The largest deviations from normal hemogram values were found in a group of children with hip dysplasia complicated by aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. Two months after surgery, the main hemogram parameters in all groups of patients are normalized. The reactions of lipid peroxidation are changing, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of peroxidation products, primarily diene conjugates. Along with this, the activity of individual antioxidant enzymes changes - the activity of catalase decreases and the activity of superoxide dismutase increases. The most extreme values were noted in the group of children with epiphyseal dysplasia. In children with hip dysplasia complicated by aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, prior to surgical treatment, a statistically significant increase in the number of leukocytes and platelets in the blood serum is observed. In patients with epiphyseal dysplasia, osteochondropathy, both in the early and late stages, changes in the hemogram indices relate to the indicators of red blood cells and hemoglobin. In children with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, hemogram values did not have statistically significant differences from the norm. In all groups of patients, destabilization of the peroxidation and antioxidant defense systems was noted.
