Early Bony Hip Reconstructive Surgery for Hip Subluxation in Children With Severe Cerebral Palsy.

Hip subluxation occurs frequently in children with severe cerebral palsy. This retrospective study examined the effects of age and type of bony surgery on radiographic outcomes of children with severe cerebral palsy who were treated for hip subluxation. The study included nonambulatory children with cerebral palsy undergoing bony hip reconstructive surgery consisting of proximal femoral varus derotational osteotomy (VDRO) alone or combined with pelvic osteotomy.

Pectoralis Major Tendon Insertion Anatomy and Description of a Novel Anatomic Reference.

Pectoralis major rupture is an uncommon injury often treated surgically, requiring anatomic knowledge of the tendon insertion. This study defines the pectoralis major tendon insertion footprint and a novel anatomic relationship. Twelve cadaver shoulders were evaluated andmeasured using a standard surgical ruler to demonstrate the normal anatomic footprint.
