METHOD: 26 patients with cerebral palsy who had received SPR were followed up for four years. RESULT: In the 9 patients who could walk and stand up from squatting position independently, 7 could stand steadily on one foot after operation. In the 12 who patients could walk and stand up from squatting position dependently, 7 could walk independently in the room after operation. In 5 patients couldn't walk and stand up from squatting position, 3 patients could walk dependently in the room after operation. Complications occurred in 3 patients. CONCLUSION: Selective posterior rhizotomy is effective in the treatment of spastic cerebral palsy. Strictly selecting candidates for the operation and good rehabilitation training before and after operation should be emphasized for good results.
