title: One session surgery on the lower limb in children with cerebral palsy. A five year follow-up.
abstract: Twenty three children with cerebral palsy, who were operated on upon before 1984, have been re-assessed. All the lower limb deformities were corrected in one surgical session. Review after five years included foot-switch measurements and assessment of video recordings. There were no recurrences, and gait ability showed normal growth-related development.
