ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Immobile patients with cerebral palsy can suffer with painful dislocated hips. Decision-making and surgical management can prove challenging in this cohort of patients, with hips that cannot be reconstructed.METHODS:
We conduced a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent prosthetic femoral interposition arthroplasty (PFIA) by two surgeons from 2013 to 2021, for unreconstructable hips. We compared pain and range of motion in preoperative period to the postoperative period. Caregiver reported outcomes were used to assess satisfaction post operatively. During the follow up, radiographs of the PFIA were obtained to assess for proximal migration, heterotopic ossification and loosening of implants.RESULTS:
Eleven index surgeries, which met the inclusion criteria, were included in this study. These were performed in eleven patients with an average follow up of 45 months. Regarding pain and range of motion post-operatively an excellent or good result was seen in nine cases. Two patients were classified as having a fair result with none having a poor result. Most caregivers reported being satisfied or very satisfied with the post-operative outcomes.CONCLUSION:
A prescriptive operative solution to the painful dislocated hip in children with spastic cerebral palsy remains elusive. In this study, we have demonstrated both clinically and radiologically satisfactory results post proximal femoral interposition arthroplasty, for those patients with unreconstructable hips. Patient caregiver reported outcomes, show that the majority of caregivers were satisfied or very satisfied with the outcome of the surgery.Palabras clave
