Management of hip disorders in patients with cerebral palsy
Hip disorders are common in patients with cerebral palsy and cover a wide clinical
spectrum, from the hip at risk to subluxation, dislocation, and dislocation with degeneration
and pain. Although the hip is normal at birth, a combination of muscle imbalance and bony
deformity leads to progressive dysplasia. The spasticity or contracture usually involves the
adductor and iliopsoas muscles; thus, the majority of hips subluxate in a posterosuperior
direction. Many patients with untreated dislocations develop pain by early adulthood …

… Hip dysplasia is a common finding among children with cerebral palsy that is reported in up
to 35% of cases (second most common affected joint in children with cerebral palsy) 1 . Hip
disease severity varies from a hip at risk for subluxation to a dislocated hip with degenerative
changes. The incidence of … We would consider hip reconstructive procedures in children
who are <6 years old if complete hip dislocation is present, which would typically occur in
the setting of a combination of developmental dysplasia of the hip and cerebral palsy 24 . …
