In 55 patients with CP, 101 muscle release operations were performed between 1971 and 1988. Preoperatively, the diagnosis was established by the neuropediatrician, function was evaluated according to the Rancho-los-amigos system, and the X-rays of the hip were assessed according to Reimers. For the postoperative evaluation patients were grouped according to neurologic diagnosis: hemiplegia (4), diplegia (19), total body involvement (31). Patients with hemiplegia had no functional or radiological changes as a result of the operation. In diplegia functional deterioration was seen in 4 cases (21\%); in 3 cases (16\%) this meant loss of the ability to walk. The migration percentage was improved from 48\% to 39\% on average. In 19 cerebral palsy patients with total body involvement surgery was considered to be indicated on the basis of a suspected dislocation of the hip. No functional changes occurred as a result of surgery. Hip dislocation was successfully prevented in 90\% of the cases. The migration percentage was improved from 73\% to 33\%. In another 12 patients with total body involvement, adductor and iliopsoas release was performed to allow better hygiene and care and for pain relief. These goals were achieved; neither the Rancho-Los-Amigos function classification system nor X-rays were used to evaluate the results.
