Factors associated with recurrence after femoral derotation osteotomy in cerebral palsy

摘要

Femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) as gold standard treatment for internal rotation gait in cerebral palsy (CP) leads to satisfying short-term results, whereas rates of recurrence up to 33% are reported in long-term outcome studies. The purpose of this study was therefore to identify factors contributing to recurrence of internal rotation gait in patients with CP who were treated with FDO in childhood.
