Functional outcomes following surgery for spastic hip adductor muscles in ambulatory and non-ambulatory adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate functional outcomes of surgery of spastic hip adductor muscles (obturator neurotomy with or without adductor longus tenotomy) in ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients, using preoperatively defined personalized goals.

Design

Retrospective observational descriptive study.

Patients

Twenty-three patients with adductor spasticity who underwent obturator neurotomy between May 2016 and May 2021 at the Clinique des Cèdres, Cornebarrieu, France, were included.

Methods

Postoperative functional results were evaluated in accordance with the Goal Attainment Scaling method. Patients were considered "responders" if their score was ≥ 0. Secondary outcomes included spasticity, strength, hip range of motion and change in ambulatory capacity. When data were
