Effectiveness of Femoral Varus Osteotomy in Patients with Cerebral Palsy

This is a retrospective review of 144 hips in 99 patients treated with femoral varus osteotomy between 1975 and 1995. Average follow-up was 5 years (range, 2–15 years). The majority of patients (67%) were nonambulatory spastic quadriparetics. The average age at the time of surgery was 7.7 years (ran...

Zusammenfassung:	This is a retrospective review of 144 hips in 99 patients treated with femoral varus osteotomy between 1975 and 1995. Average follow-up was 5 years (range, 2–15 years). The majority of patients (67%) were nonambulatory spastic quadriparetics. The average age at the time of surgery was 7.7 years (range, 3–15 years). Radiographic parameters analyzed were the neck-shaft and center-edge (CE) angles and Reimer's migration index (MI). Results were considered good if the CE angle was >20° and the MI
