AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 14 painful dislocated hips in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, treated with hip arthrodesis and internal fixation. The mean age at the surgical procedure was 15 years and 5 months. The mean follow-up period was 5 years and 3 months. All patients showed bone union, pain relief, and postural improvement. Hip arthrodesis is a reasonable option in treating painful spastic subluxated and dislocated hips in patients with cerebral palsy, especially if it is unilateral and the patient has weight-bearing function.

: With technological advancements, virtual versions of the Box and Block Test (BBT) employing the Leap Motion Controller have been developed for evaluating hand dexterity. Currently, there are no studies about the usefulness of this system in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Thus, our main objective is to apply a virtual BBT based on the Leap Motion Controller in children with UCP compared with the real BTT for assessing upper limb function within a pilot study.

Background/objectives: The aim of the study is to present middle-term results of tailored bone and soft-tissue surgeries in subluxated and dislocated hips in children affected by cerebral palsy.
Methods: A total of 87 medical records belonging to 73 children affected by CP, treated with combined soft-tissue releases, VDO, and pelvic osteotomy, were reviewed retrospectively. Radiological measurements of AI, RI, and NSA were obtained before surgery, postoperatively, at 12 and 24 months after surgery.
