Abstract
Thirty-five patients (60 hips) were operated for the correction of hip deformities in cerebral palsy. Twenty-three patients (41 hips) out of them were mainly corrected by division or recession of the iliopsoas tendon. Twelve patients (19 hips) were mainly corrected by lenghenning of the psoas tendon. The latter method was more efficient than the former in terms of the preservation of hip flexors.
