Abstract

Neuromuscular hip dysplasia is a disorder of the hip joint caused by abnormal pull of spastic hip flexor and adductor muscles. It is common in children with cerebral palsy, and the incidence and severity increases with increasing neurologic involvement. Goals of management include maintaining a mobile painless located hip. The varus derotational osteotomy and volume-reducing pelvic osteotomy are the workhorses of reconstruction of this disorder. This chapter describes the technique of management of the reconstructible neuromuscular hip with blade plate fixation.
