Abstract

Hip dislocation in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is a common and often over looked problem by the treating pediatricians. Though it can be diagnosed early by using radiographs, knowledge about the standardized methodology and need for periodic surveillance is lacking among primary care pediatricians. Hip surveillance by X-ray pelvis can identify early hip dislocation and it is shown that early intervention may prevent the need for surgery [1].
