We reviewed the long-term radiological outcome,
complications and revision operations in 19 children with quadriplegic
cerebral palsy and hip dysplasia who underwent combined peri-iliac
osteotomy and femoral varus derotation osteotomy. They had a mean
age of 7.5 years (1.6 to 10.9) and comprised 22 hip dislocations
and subluxations. We also studied the outcome for the contralateral
hip. At a mean follow-up of 11.7 years (10 to 15.1) the Melbourne
cerebral palsy (CP) hip classification was grade 2 in 16 hips, grade
3 in five, and grade 5 in one. There were five complications seen
in four hips (21%, four patients), including one dislocation, one
subluxation, one coxa vara with adduction deformity, one subtrochanteric
fracture and one infection. A recurrent soft-tissue contracture occurred
in five hips and ten required revision surgery. In pre-adolescent children with quadriplegic

This study compares the initial outcomes of minimally invasive techniques for single-event multi-level surgery with conventional single-event multi-level surgery. The minimally invasive techniques included derotation osteotomies using closed corticotomy and fixation with titanium elastic nails and percutaneous lengthening of muscles where possible. A prospective cohort study of two matched groups was undertaken. Ten children with diplegic
