Prosthetic femoral interposition arthroplasty with adult humeral implant, for children with cerebral palsy and symptomatic hips.

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.
