Chiari osteotomy in cerebral palsy.
Twelve cerebrospastic patients underwent 13 Chiari osteotomies for the treatment of subluxed or dislocated hips. Twelve of these 13 hips were reexamined 24-80 months later. Ten patients had painless located hips. The two failures had pelvic obliquity that resulted in redislocation.
