TREATMENT OF PARALYTIC HIP DISLOCATION AMONG SPASTIC QUADRIPLEGIC CEREBRAL PALSY PATIENTS BY MEANS OF FEMORAL AND PELVIC OSTEOTOMY, WITHOUT OPENING THE JOINT CAPSULE (CAPSULOPLASTY).

Objectives: To show the preoperative planning and results from surgical treatment for paralytic hip dislocation among patients with cerebral palsy. The techniques used were proximal femoral varus derotation osteotomy in association with Dega iliac osteotomy, without opening the joint capsule.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of ten hips in eight patients with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy who underwent surgical treatment between 2003 and 2005, with the same surgical technique.
