In total, 13 children with an orthopedic disease requiring immobilization longer than two weeks were enrolled. Blood samples were collected after breakfast. Urine samples were collected at the second voiding after waking. The urine Ca/Cr ratio and various bone metabolite parameters were measured before, and every one to four weeks after, the start of immobilization. The median patient age was 7 years with a range of 2 to 13 years. Orthopedic diseases in the patients were dislocated hip joint (N=7), slipped capital femoral epiphysis (N=2), etc. The urine Ca/Cr ratio increased significantly within a week after immobilization (p<0.01) and continued to increase for two more weeks. Once immobilization ended, the urine Ca/Cr ratio fell gradually and returned to the normal range about six weeks after mobility was achieved (p<0.01). Serum ALP and bone-specific ALP significantly decreased after immobilization began (p<0.01). After immobilization ended, the serum ALP returned to pre-immobilization levels in two to four weeks (p<0.01). Serum NTX did not change significantly during immobilization. The urine Ca/Cr ratio immediately increased after immobilization. In contrast to adults, bone formation markers in children decreased during immobilization whereas bone resorption markers did not increase. This study is the first to examine bone metabolism markers in children during immobilization. The urine Ca/Cr ratio immediately increased after immobilization.
