Abstract
Thirty-two patients (48 hips) with total body involved cerebral palsy (CP) underwent medial release and proximal femoral osteotomy for hip subluxation or dislocation. Twenty-eight hips were rated good, 15 were rated fair, and five were rated poor at follow-up. The better located the hip preoperatively and the better the reduction obtained at operation, the better the final result. The major factor that correlated with a good result was early operation, performed before significant deformity had occurred.
