Abstract
ObjectiveTo relate, in non-ambulatory subjects with palsy, Reimers’ migration percentage with standardized radiological measurements, including the acetabular–epiphyseal angle. MethodDescriptive, observational and transversal study of 15 individuals with cerebral palsy at levels IV and V of the Gross Motor Function Classification System, aged between 3 and 9 years. Radiological measurements of the acetabular index, Hilgenreiner's epiphyseal angle, acetabular–epiphyseal angle, neck-shaft angle and Reimers’ migration percentage of each of the hips were performed. ResultsCorrelations between acetabular index, epiphyseal angle and acetabular–epiphyseal angle were obtained with respect to the Reimers migration percentage. For hips with a migration rate of 15% or less, a positive correlation was observed between acetabular and epiphyseal angles. ConclusionsIn our population, the measurement between acetabular and epiphyseal inclination represents the highest association with the hip migration percentage.
