Presentation
Cerebral palsy.
Patient Data
Both hips are enlocated. There is 30-40% lateral uncovering of the femoral heads bilaterally. Bilateral coxa valga.
Findings in keeping with bilateral chronic hip subluxation.
Bilateral proximal femoral osteotomies have been performed with insertion of blade plates and screws. There is now marked improvement in coverage of both femoral heads which now are completely covered and enlocated.
Both hips are enlocated and well covered. The appearance of both femoral necks are consistent with the previous location of blade plates
Case Discussion
Chronic hip subluxation is a relatively common complication of cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular disorders.
