Purpose

This meta-analysis aims to systematically assess and quantitatively pool the best clinical evidence for migration percentage (MP) and odds ratio (OR) for recurrence/reoperation following treatment for hip subluxation in children with cerebral palsy (CP), including Botulinum Toxin A (BNT-A), soft-tissue lengthening and osteotomies.

Methods

Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane were systematically searched from between 1 January 1953 and 11 January 2017 inclusive for studies reporting resubluxation/reoperation rates, and/or MP following treatment for hip subluxation in children with CP.
