Percutaneous Versus Open Hamstring Lengthening in Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
Background: Open hamstring lengthening (oHSL) is commonly performed to decrease knee contracture and improvegait and posture for children with spastic diplegia.

متن کاملGait improvement surgery in ambulatory children with diplegic cerebral palsy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Instrumented 3-D gait analyses (GA) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) have shown improved gait function 1 year postoperatively. Using GA, we assessed the outcome after 5 years and evaluated parental satisfaction with the surgery and the need for additional surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS 34 ambulatory children with spastic diplegia had preoperative GA. Based on this GA...
