| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The everyday life of a non-ambulatory adolescent or young adult with cerebral palsy can be severely impaired by a painful or stiff hip. The usual surgical solutions such as proximal femoral resection (PFR) are not entirely satisfactory for pain relief, and are mutilating. HYPOTHESIS: A retrospective study assessed the impact of total hip replacement (THR) on such impairment, on the hypothesis that it is more effective than PFR in relieving pain, without aggravating disability. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The surgical technique consisted in implanting a dual-mobility prosthesis with uncemented acetabular component and cemented femur, after upper femoral shaft shortening and short hip-spica cast immobilization. Forty THRs were performed in 33 patients, including 31 with multiple disability. Follow-up assessment focused on change in functional status, pain, and range of motion. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 5 years. Pain was more or less entirely resolved. Improvement in range of motion was less striking, and there was no significant change in functional status. There were 2 general, 2 septic and 10 mechanical complications, 6 of which required surgical revision. DISCUSSION: In non-ambulatory cerebral palsy, THR provided much better alleviation of pain than found with PFR treatment. It should be reserved for patients able to withstand fairly long surgery and with femur size compatible with implantation of a femoral component, however small. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, retrospective study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
