The angles of femoral anteversion were similar at early ages between healthy children and children with cerebral palsy. However, as the age of the children increased, those with cerebral palsy showed little change in anteversion angle, whereas the healthy children had progressively decreasing angles of femoral anteversion as they approached adulthood. The neck-shaft angle was increased significantly in children with cerebral palsy compared with the angles of healthy children. Patients who were ambulatory were shown to have an increased angle of femoral anteversion and a decreased neck-shaft angle compared with nonambulatory patients. There was no significant difference in angles among the various distributions of involvement, including patients with diplegia, hemiplegia, and quadriplegia.
