Hip reconstruction in cerebral palsy: Lessons from a single center and 137 hips.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This large, retrospective, single-center study aimed to compare the outcomes of unilateral hip reconstruction and bilateral hip reconstruction in children with non-ambulatory cerebral palsy and ascertain risk factors for recurrent instability and reoperation.

Method

We performed a retrospective review of 137 hip reconstructions performed for patients with cerebral palsy.
