Prevention of Acquired Dislocation of the Hip in Cerebral Palsy

Winthrop M. Phelps M.D.1

1 BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

Acquired dislocation of the hip in cerebral palsy appears to result from: (1) coxa valga, due to late weight-bearing; (2) spasticity or contracture of the adductor museles; or (3) spasticity or contracture of the gracilis muscle. These three types are distinguishable from congenital dislocation of the hip and from each other on the basis of roentgenographic and clinical findings. Prevention of each type of dislocation is often possible by the specific measures described.
