Proximal femoral resection to allow adults who have severe cerebral palsy to sit

RE McCarthy, S Simon, B Douglas, R Zawacki and N Reese
Arkansas Children's Hospital, Little Rock.

Resection of the proximal end of the femur and interpositional arthroplasty was done in thirty-four patients (fifty-six hips) to allow the patients to sit comfortably and to make perineal care painless. All of the patients were severely handicapped because of cerebral palsy, were unable to walk, and were residents of one of two state institutions. After a minimum follow-up of two years, the result had not deteriorated in thirty-three of the thirty-four patients.
