Surgical treatment options for cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy, also known as cerebral palsy, severely affects the patient’s quality of life, manifesting as movement disorders and postural abnormalities.

Modalities and indications for surgical treatment: 1. Selective posterior spinal nerve root partial excision is used for patients with polyarticular spasticity in the upper or lower extremities.

2.Selective peripheral nerve partial excision is used for patients of low age with single, limited symptoms and signs.

3.Patients with involuntary movement type and partial torsion spasticity type are treated with bilateral common carotid sheath sympathetic nerve net stripping, which can improve patients’ symptoms such as salivation, strabismus, slurred speech and ataxia.

4, tendon contracture, horseshoe foot and other deformities patients using bone and muscle tendon orthopedic surgery.

The surgical technique is mature and the efficacy is sure. After surgery, the patient’s joint mobility increases, and the motor function and posture of the limbs improve, creating conditions for further rehabilitation training .

Many parents are afraid to give their children surgical treatment, fearing that the risk is too great, and delay the best time for the child’s surgery, once the adult after this surgery for the child’s treatment is difficult to improve, so we advocate that the child is best between the ages of 2 1/2-6 years old, surgical intervention for children to prevent The spastic deformity of the child can be improved in time. The child also recovers very well during this time period. This is why our post-surgical rehabilitation is even more important. However, when the child’s joints are unstable, premature orthopedic orthopedics can easily cause recurrence.
