To assess progression of hip subluxation after femoral varization derotation osteotomy (FVDO) in patients with cerebral palsy using a Linear Mixed Model (LMM) application and determined factors influence it

Hip subluxation and dislocation in children with

spasticity resulting from CP may cause serious problems

for affected patient

Satisfactory short term results after FVDO or combined

with Dega pelvic osteotomy for the treatment of hip

subluxation and dislocation were reported by many

authors

There are only a few long term studies reporting

recurrency after FVDO or combined with Dega pelvic

osteotomy after some periodic follow-up.

This study was a retrospective design

Patients with CP, who visited our hospital and underwent FVDO or combined with Dega pelvic osteotomy between from 2003 Jun. to 2012 Oct.

Investigate using X-ray in AP and Internal rotation view to assess Neck shaft angle(NSA), Head shaft angle (HAS), Migration percentage(MP) on pre-operative, immediate post operative and until last follow up

For each of GMFCS level, the value of measurements (NSA, HSA, MP) was adjusted by multiple factors by using a Linear Mixed Model (LMM) with gender as the fixed effects and follow-up time (years) effect, laterality (side of hip) and each subject as the random effect

Figure 1.:The angle between a line passing through the midway of the femoral shaft and another line connecting the femoral head center and midpoint of the femoral neck. The femoral head center was the center of best fitting outer circle of the femoral head.

Pre Operative

Post Operative

Figure 1.:The head shaft angle was the angle between line passing through the femoral shaft midway and another line perpendicular to the proximal femoral physis.

Pre Operative

Post Operative

Figure 1.:The migration percentage was calculated by dividing the amount of the femoral head lateral to the Perkin’s line (A) with the total width of the femoral head (B)

Pre Operative

Post Operative

There were one hundreds and fourty-four hips in 76 bilateral spastic CP patients

All were bilateral CP type with GMFCS II-III / IV / V were 12 / 30 / 34, respectively

All got bilateral FVDO in equal amount and 80 hips combined with Dega pelvic osteotomy

There were 57 males and 19 females with an average age at surgery was 8.5 ± 2.3 years (SD range from 4.5 to 16.5 years) and duration of follow up was 4.9±2.4 years

There is progression of hip subluxation after FVDO in patients with CP particularly in patients non-ambulatory (GMFCS level IV and V)

Time of follow-up duration has main role in the occurency of this postulated
