Long-Term Outcomes of Femoral Derotation Osteotomy for Individuals With Cerebral Palsy

Completed

Conditions studied: Cerebral Palsy, Femoral Derotation Osteotomy, Outcomes

In brief

Excessive anteversion is commonly observed in the cerebral palsy (CP) population. This can be treated by an orthopedic surgery, called femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO), to de-rotate the femur. It is a vital aspect of patient care to understand if the effects of an FDO are maintained long-term. The results of this study will have direct clinical impact by equipping providers with the necessary information to counsel families by providing families the information needed to make the most informed decision possible about this aspect of their child's healthcare.
