title: The hip in cerebral palsy.
abstract: The care of the hip in children with cerebral palsy is an ongoing challenge. Interventions need to be physiologically based and well timed. Early management will prevent future complications in both the ambulatory and nonambulatory child with cerebral palsy. Evaluation management and treatment of the hips in cerebral palsy will be discussed in this article.
