Functional and cosmetic outcome of surgery for cerebral palsy in the upper limb.

Bruce R Johnstone1, Philip W F Richardson, Christopher J Coombs, Josie A Duncan.   

Abstract

Function, cosmesis, hygiene, and ability to dress can be improved by appropriate surgery. This frequently involves multiple simultaneous procedures and addresses the muscles, their tendons, and the joints they pass over. The improvement in cosmesis is most profound in hemiplegic patients. Overall, patients are satisfied with the results of surgery.
