Abstract: Hip dysplasia, subluxation, and eventual hip dislocation are commonly encountered in the cerebral palsy population secondary to spasticity and loss of motor control, especially in those patients with more severe neurologic involvement. The treatment of hip disorders in these patients should take into account the degree of limb and hip involvement, pain severity, and overall functioning. Conservative management focuses on mitigating spasticity and preserving range of motion in order to provide an environment in which the femoral head remains concentrically reduced in the acetabulum. However, operative management, consisting of soft tissue or tendon releases, femoral or pelvic osteotomies, or hip salvage procedures, is sometimes necessary to treat the painful, subluxated, or dislocated hip. Radiographic hip surveillance in the pediatric cerebral palsy population is used to guide operative treatment. Long term hip containment is generally improved when surgical intervention is performed in the earlier stages of dysplasia. Younger patients who demonstrate progressive hip subluxation despite conservative measures may be carefully selected to undergo soft tissue procedures. Bony reconstruction, with adjunctive soft tissue procedures, is often necessary to better contain the proximal femur in patients above the age of four years.
