Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy classified as GMFCS levels IV and V who have neglected deformed dislocated hips.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are ambulatory or have previously undergone hip bony procedures will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of three different surgical procedures for managing late-presenting hip dislocation in non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy, specifically those classified as GMFCS levels IV and V. The study focuses on reconstructive and salvage surgeries, including hip reconstruction surgery, proximal femoral resection, and proximal femoral valgus osteotomy. By assessing outcomes such as pain relief and hip joint congruity, the trial aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for treating this challenging condition. The study utilizes the revised Melbourne Cerebral Palsy Hip Classification system to evaluate hip deformities and treatment effectiveness.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve the quality of life for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy by alleviating pain and enhancing mobility and hygiene.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with surgical interventions for hip displacement in similar patient populations, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
