Abstract
Hip joint subluxation and dislocations are very common in cerebral palsy (CP) patients and are directly related to a patient's degree of spasticity. Hip dislocation and subluxation leads to hip pain and difficulty in hygiene maintenance by a caregiver. Most cases require surgical intervention to improve the quality of life in these patients. For many years pelvic and proximal femoral osteotomies with soft tissue releases were the mainstay of treatment for affected hips in CP patients. Recently, hip arthroplasty has been proposed as a very successful operation which provides a pain free and mobile joint in CP patients. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current evidence for effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty in CP patients.
