Pediatric Cerebral Palsy

Pediatric cerebral palsy orthopedic surgery is mostly suitable for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The criteria for choosing surgery are as follows: ① slow down spasm and correct the deformation caused by cerebral palsy. ② Recovery of exercise performance, with less upper limb surgery and more lower limb surgery, accounting for more than 50% of orthopedic surgery. ③ When correcting for multiple parts of the lower limbs, the surgery should start from the near trunk area. For example, from the hip joint, then the knee joint, and then the ankle joint. When the deformation is limited to the ankle joint and the movement function of the other parts is better, the operation effect is good. ④ Due to spastic cerebral palsy, the lower limbs cannot stand and walk, and those who are difficult to correct after practice, or the legs are too crossed, which affects the excretion of urine and urine, and care for the disabled ⑤ When judging whether the lower extremities of both sides are too large, they must be diagnosed by surgery, otherwise the pelvis may be tilted and the spine deformed. ⑥ The goal of upper limb surgery is to restore the function of the hand, or to affect the aesthetics due to severe deformation.
