Orthopedic Care of Patients with Cerebral Palsy

Abstract

The hip is arguably the anatomic region of greatest concern in cerebral palsy. Tone, weakness, and spasticity about the hip can result in bony deformity such as increased femoral anteversion, coxa valga, and acetabular dysplasia. Muscular and tendinous pathology commonly includes hip flexion and adductor contractures. Bony and musculotendinous pathology can lead to pain, particularly when the hip is in advanced stages of subluxation or has dislocated. Functional problems are common, including difficulties with perineal care and seating, and in ambulatory children anterior pelvic tilt, pelvic obliquity, increased hip internal rotation, and scissoring may contribute to jump or crouch gait and in-toeing. Physical exam, x-rays, and selective use of gait analysis, MR, CT, and CT version studies are used to diagnose hip pathology, delineate how it is affecting gait, and develop a treatment protocol. Bracing and chemodenervation techniques to address hip pathology are addressed in more detail separately; surgical techniques to address hip pathology vary greatly with the most common techniques presented.
