Parameters of radiographic coxometry in reconstructive operations on the hip joint as part of multilevel surgical interventions in children with cerebral palsy

Purpose Study the parameters of the hip joint in the short- and long-term postoperative periods in patients with severe types of cerebral palsy, accompanied by pathology of the hip joint, who underwent multilevel interventions, including its reconstruction. Study hip joints at stages depending on the interval between operations (between surgery on the first and second joints in bilateral CP), age of patients as well as an assessment of the intact joint development in unilateral dislocations. Materials and methods This study included 124 children with spastic types of cerebral palsy who underwent surgical orthopedic reconstructive treatment at the RISC for RTO in the period between 2012 and 2016. Their mean age at the start of treatment was 7.01 ± 2.47 years (range: 3 to 13 years). Coxometry indices were evaluated depending on the interval between operations (between surgery on the first and second joints in bilateral CP), patient's age, and the development of intact joint in unilateral CP was also studied...
