Hip abnormalities in cerebral palsy: radiological study.
A total of 237 hips of children with cerebral palsy were examined annually for three years. The severely involved spastic children and those who had never stood were more susceptible to hip abnormality. Apparent coxa valga (whose phenotype consists more of anteversion and less of true coxa valga) is closely related to the hip abnormality.
