Abstract

The literature data of etiologic pathogenesis and diagnosis of the hip instability in patients with infantile cerebral palsy analyzed in the present review. The mechanism of the hip formation in children with tonus disorders widely covered. The most common techniques of surgical treatment considered as well. The authors conclude that there is so far no standard pattern of approach to selecting a variant of surgical intervention for the hip instability in children with infantile cerebral palsy. The development of such a system to date is promising in managing these patients.
