Bone alignment surgery for hip problems in children with cerebral palsy

This trial tests a treatment for children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern, a forward-tilted pelvis, and weak calf muscles. It uses EMG to check muscle activity and aims to improve walking.

This trial compares two surgical techniques (a plate versus a screw) to guide growth in children with bowlegs or knock-knees, aiming to gradually straighten the leg. It may help your child have a more normal leg alignment without major surgery.

This trial compares two types of small implants (screws and plates) placed on the growth plate of the knee to gradually straighten the leg in growing children. The goal is to correct knee deformities like bowed legs or knock knees using a less invasive surgical method that guides growth.

This trial looks at children who have had surgery to correct knock-knees (genu varum) and may still have a remaining twist or shape problem. It tests a specific growth-modifying technique (an 8-plate hemi epiphysiodesis) to help improve bone alignment as the child grows.

This trial compares two surgical methods to correct knee alignment in children whose bones are still growing. It will help doctors know which approach works better and is safer.

This trial tests a surgery to guide the growth of the upper thigh bone (femur) to keep the hip joint from sliding out of place in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to prevent further hip migration and avoid more serious hip problems later.
