Intrailiac Osteotomy With Superior Lateral Outcropping Bone: A Previously Undescribed Procedure for Hip Subluxation in Cerebral Palsy.

Background: Surgical treatment of hip subluxation in cerebral palsy typically involves proximal femoral osteotomy with or without concurrent supra-acetabular pelvic osteotomy. The literature lacks data on isolated pelvic osteotomy for this condition. We present superior lateral outcropping bone as a novel procedure for augmenting pelvic osteotomies for additional femoral coverage.

Minimally Invasive Adductor Release With Obturator Block for Hip Subluxation in Cerebral Palsy: A Report of Two Cases.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood and presents with spasticity, increased tone, decreased range of motion, and difficulty with ambulation. Abnormal communication between the cerebrum and the motor fibers leads to functional deficits and long-term adverse sequelae. This case report focuses on hip dysplasia.

Recurvatum of the Knee in Cerebral Palsy: A Review.

Recurvatum is defined as hyperextension of the knee in the stance phase of gait. Recurvatum knee is a naturally occurring common gait deviation in those with cerebral palsy, along with crouch knee, jump knee, and stiff knee gaits. Early and late recurvatum occur in the first and second halves of stance.

Minimally Invasive SPML Surgery for Children with Cerebral Palsy: Program Development.

Improvements in surgical and rehabilitation care are critical to lessen the burden of cerebral palsy (CP), the most common cause of severe physical disability in childhood. The selective percutaneous myofascial lengthening (SPML) surgical procedure is a minimally invasive method designed to improve ambulation by lengthening contracted musculoskeletal tissues. Information on surgical procedures, efficacy, and safety of SPML for children with CP is lacking.
