Purpose: Our study aimed to present health-related quality of life (HRQL) after combined bone reconstruction in nonambulatory patients with cerebral palsy (CP) after at least a 2-year follow-up and to assess its impact on HRQL using the Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities questionnaire (CPCHILD) as the primary outcome measure.
Methods: In this prospective study, we analyzed 31 nonambulatory patients with spastic or mixed CP (GMFCS levels IV-V) who underwent hip reconstructive surgery between 2015 and 2021. The surgical procedures included one-sided varus derotation osteotomy of the femur with Dega transiliac osteotomy and, on the opposite side, varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) of the femur with shortening and, as needed, Dega pelvic osteotomy.

Introduction: Supracondylar fractures in children often result in malunion and subsequent cubitus varus or valgus deformity. While often considered cosmetic, these deformities can lead to pain, functional impairment, and other complications. Corrective osteotomy is a common treatment option, with step-cut osteotomy being a preferred method due to its effectiveness and relative simplicity.

Introduction: Calcific tendonitis is characterized by calcium hydroxyapatite crystal deposition in tendons, leading to inflammation and pain. While predominantly observed in the rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder, its occurrence in the rectus femoris tendon of the hip is exceedingly rare and poses a diagnostic challenge.
Case Report: A 38-year-old female housewife presented with a 1-month history of left hip pain, which was dull, aching, and exacerbated by movements such as standing and walking.
