  • Title: [Asymmetric posture of the hip-joints in cerebral palsy (author's transl)].
    Author: Feldkamp M.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1976 Jun; 114(3):317-23. PubMed ID: 941475.
    Abstract:
    Asymmetric posture of hip-joints is a common disorder in children with cerebral palsy. One hip is found in abduction-outward rotation, the other in adduction-inward rotation. Most of these patients are severely handicapped, with little voluntary control of muscular activity. Possible causes of the disorder are discussed. In treatment long leg plaster casts with diagonal traction are recommended, in milder cases a corrective plaster mould against malrotation can be applied. The technics of both are described.
