Subluxated or dislocated hips generally show several anomalies: their severity is directly
proportional to the degree of neurological impairment. In the most severe cases, correction …

Thirty-seven cerebral palsy patients were followed with measurements of the migration
index (MI), infrapelvic obliquity, and suprapelvic obliquity over a mean period of 73 months …

To determine the natural history of dislocation of the hip in cerebral palsy, and to evolve
methods to predict dislocation, the notes and radiographs of 462 patients with cerebral palsy …

SUMMARY A review was made of 88 adult institutionalized patients with spastic cerebral
