Surgical treatment of hip dysplasia in cerebral palsy: A retrospective comparison between open and closed reduction.

ABSTRACT: Hip dysplasia in cerebral palsy (CP) is a common and severe problem, especially among nonambulatory patients. A likely cause is muscular imbalance and developmental bone changes leading to a progressive extrusion of the femoral head from the acetabulum. The ideal surgical treatment aims to reduce the dislocated hip to improve pain, positioning, and function. The purpose of this study is to clinically and radiographically compare the results of hip reconstructive surgery with or without open reduction in patients with CP and hip dysplasia. A retrospective study was conducted through access to medical records, radiographs, and clinical evaluation of patients with CP who underwent surgical correction of hip dysplasia through hip reconstructive surgery with a minimum of 2 years follow-up.
