The records concerning 64 hips in 36 cerebral palsy patients treated
with varus derotational osteotomy (VDO) alone (2 hips), VDO with
muscle releases (adductors, iliopsoas, hamstrings; 46 hips), and
VDO, soft-tissue release, and innominate bone osteotomy (16 hips)
were reviewed. There were 23 quadriplegic and 13 diplegic patients.
Average age at surgery was 7 years. Average follow-up period was
3.8 years. All hips that had VDO, soft-tissue release, and innominate
osteotomy were stable at follow-up. Nine hips of the 44 treated with
VDO and muscle release alone dislocated, and required second osteotomies.
