Role of surgery in the prevention and correction of hip subluxation and dislocation in cerebral palsy.
Forty-three patients (80 hips) were available for clinical and radiological follow-up. These patients underwent adductor tenotomies separately or in combination with other procedures on the hip, with or without proximal femural correction. The range of abduction in all hips before surgery was 40 degrees or less, and in 54 hips combined with flexion-contracture (10 degrees-50 degrees).
