This review brings together a multidisciplinary, multinational team of experts to discuss the current state of knowledge in the detection and treatment of hip displacement in cerebral palsy (CP), a global public health problem with a high disease burden. Though common themes are pervasive, different views are also represented, reflecting the confluence of traditional thinking regarding the aetiology and treatment of hip displacement in CP with emerging research that challenges these tried-and-true principles. The development of hip displacement is most closely related to gross motor function, with radiographic surveillance programs based on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), the goal being early detection and timely treatment.
