Treatment of spastic diplegia in patients with cerebral palsy: Part II

Michael D Aiona et al. J Pediatr Orthop B. 2004 May.

Abstract

This review article describes the evaluation, treatment options, and expected outcomes for many of the common deformities of the lower extremities in patients with cerebral palsy. The evaluation tools including gait analysis will be applied to each specific deformity. Dynamic components are addressed with spasticity management and appropriate muscle and tendon procedures. The static components are treated with bony procedures, including various osteotomies and arthrodesis, incorporating biomechanical principles.
