Rectus femoris transfer in multilevel surgery: technical details and gait outcome assessment in cerebral palsy patients.
INTRODUCTION In children with cerebral palsy the abnormal activity of the rectus femoris (RF) during the swing phase results in "stiff-knee gait". Transferring the RF to a knee flexor tendon improves this stiffness. The effect may be limited by adhesions from scar tissue or from angular deviations along the surgically created muscle tendon route. HYPOTHESIS The goal of this study was to asses...
متن کاملOutcome of single-event multilevel surgery in untreated cerebral palsy in a developing country.
In developed countries, children with cerebral palsy are treated from the time of diagnosis. This is usually not the case in developing countries where such patients often present at an age when it is traditionally believed that if walking has not already commenced, it is unlikely to. This study reports the outcome of the surgical treatment of 85 spastic diplegic patients at a mean of 8.5 years...
متن کاملImproving Planning and Post-Operative Assessment for Total Hip Arthroplasty
UNLABELLED Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) remains the gold standard of treatment for patients who suffer with a variety of hip-related pathological degeneration or trauma. These patients often exhibit significantly less post-operative pain and an increase in the range of motion of the joint, but there are still relatively common instances of debilitating periprosthetic complications that call int...
متن کاملPain and rehabilitation problems after single-event multilevel surgery including bony foot surgery in cerebral palsy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical correction of foot deformities as part of single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) to optimize postoperative training is sometimes indicated in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. We have, however, experienced excessive postoperative pain and rehabilitation problems in a number of these patients. We therefore investigated children who underwent such procedure...
متن کاملRelationship between Immediate Post-Operative Appearance and 6-Week Operative Outcome in Trichiasis Surgery
BACKGROUND Surgical technique, including suture placement and tension, is believed to contribute to the outcome of bilamellar tarsal rotation surgery for trachomatous trichiasis. However, the immediate post-operative appearance that minimizes the chance of recurrence and other adverse outcomes has not been investigated. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS To explore whether the degree of correctio...
