Abstract

Hip instability in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is a serious unresolved problem in modern orthopedics. Objective. To analyze the state of the problem of the hip joint instability in children with cerebral palsy and determine the prospects for its solution. Me­thods. A thematic review of 68 studies was made. Results. The basis for the prevention of instability of the hip joint should be a systema­tic X-ray screening at least once a year.  The instability of the hip joint is based on neurological disorders, if the index of migration of the femoral head (MP) is less than 30 %, the application of selective dorsal rhizotomy or baclofen pump is promising and justified. If MP > 30–100 % dorsal rhizotomy can be used after surgical correction of abnormalities in the hip joint to reduce the recurrence rate. The existing surgeries on the pelvic and femur is sufficient to restore the stability of this joint, even in the most severe cases, but the result is not always possible to maintain due to the recurrence of the deformity. The requirement for hip intervention in a patient with cerebral palsy is a preventive focus, by which we mean not only the achievement of joint stability, but also the creation of conditions for its preservation. Temporary blockage of the medial portion of the femoral head growth area is a minimally invasive procedure and may be recommended for use alone or as an adjunct to hip soft tissue release or for hip and bone surgery. However, it is still unclear at what age it is better to block the growth plate of the femoral head, whether and how often to change the clamps and so on. A prerequisite for the treatment of patients with this pathology is an individual approach, taking into account the degree of displacement of the femoral head, the presence of pathology of adjacent joints, the age of the child and the severity of the disease.  Correction of existing deviations should be performed in one step at many levels.
