Considerations in the treatment of cerebral palsy patients with spinal deformities.
R. Ferguson, and B. Allen. Orthop Clin North Am, 19 (2):
419--425(April 1988)
Abstract
The natural history of spinal deformities in the cerebral palsy patient is different than that in the idiopathic patient. Consequently, the approach to the patient with cerebral palsy and the surgical decision-making are different from that in the idiopathic patient. The present article gives the UTMB approach to the treatment of the cerebral palsy patient and the unique considerations that must be taken into account when treating these patients. Specific references are made to the use of L-rod instrumentation to stabilize the spinal deformity in the cerebral palsy patient.
