Hallux valgus deformity correction without fusion in children with cerebral palsy.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of nonarthrodesis surgical treatment of hallux valgus (HV) deformity in children with cerebral palsy using radiographic and gait analysis parameters. There were 25 patients who had hallux valgus correction in 39 feet. The mean age at surgery was 15±2.

Correction of Pelvic Obliquity After Spinopelvic Fixation in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Comparison Study With Minimum Two-Year Follow-up.

Study Design: Single institution cohort data were collected prospectively and reviewed retrospectively.

Objectives: This study aims to compare outcomes among three different instrumentation types: unit rod, iliac screws, and sacral alar iliac (SAI) screws in terms of pelvic obliquity correction in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Summary Of Background Data: The optimal choice for spinopelvic fixation in CP scoliosis with pelvic obliquity is controversial.

Risk factors for pancreatitis after posterior spinal fusion in children with cerebral palsy.

This study reports on the prevalence and risk factors of acute pancreatitis after posterior spinal fusion for cerebral palsy scoliosis. Pancreatitis diagnosis was based on elevated amylase or lipase above three times the upper normal limit. Perioperative data were compared between patients with and without pancreatitis.

Factors predicting postoperative complications following spinal fusions in children with cerebral palsy scoliosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the postoperative complications after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in cerebral palsy (CP) scoliosis and identify the predictive preoperative risk factors.

Methods: All PSFs consecutively performed for CP scoliosis between 2004 and 2013 were reviewed. Preoperative risk score (ORS) and postoperative complications score (POCS) were used as measures of all recorded preoperative risk factors and postoperative complications, respectively.

Infection as a Complication of Intrathecal Baclofen Treatment in Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) and spasticity are often managed with intrathecal baclofen treatment (ITB). Complications of ITB include infection at the pump or catheter site and late complications as well as revisions of the pump and catheter because of events such as battery expiration or implant malfunction. The goal of this study is to report the short-term and long-term incidence, risk factors, and treatment outcomes of ITB infections in children.
