Evaluation of Acetabular Defects in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Comparative Analysis of CT Measurements and Radiographic Parameters.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This retrospective study examines acetabular morphology and defects in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The study discovers the usefulness and reliability of a reconstructed 3D CT measurement technique and compares it to conventional radiographic measurements. Methods: 33 subjects with CP who underwent hip reconstruction, including Dega osteotomy and varus derotation femoral osteotomy, were included and compared to an age-matched group of 42 typically developing children. We reproduced a three directional acetabular index (3DAI), including anterosuperior, superolateral and posterosuperior indices in CT analysis, and compared them with established radiographic measurements for the migration percentage (MP) and the acetabular index (AI). Results: The result
