How much function can be restored after cerebral palsy surgery

  Cerebral palsy case: how much function can be recovered after cerebral palsy surgery Cerebral palsy patient Chen, 18 years old, was born with symptoms of hypoxic asphyxia due to obstructed labor using forceps. She was diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy during a newborn physical examination and had many abnormal symptoms in both lower limbs during her subsequent development.  From the age of two Yang began treatment, using head injections, medication, brain rehab and other treatment means are not effective, and then in the city hospital to do the Achilles tendon lengthening surgery. The effect of the surgery was OK, Chen’s gait was much more stable, but it did not take long to have a return to the original symptoms.  Chen’s main symptom now is that the heels are not on the ground, toes on the ground, but the symptoms are relatively light, the upper limbs, intelligence are normal, talk is also normal, both legs muscle development is normal and strong, but not too obedient, unstable gait, left walking up the right sway, a high and a low, left and right, ugly look.  Chen asked if the symptoms of cerebral palsy like his were more serious? If treated, should I choose surgery or stem cell therapy? How much can the symptoms improve after surgery? Will it be the same as a normal person?  After examining Chen’s symptoms, we concluded that his cerebral palsy symptoms were not very severe, and he only had problems with abnormal posture of toe landing and scissor step. For treatment, FSPR surgery can be used, together with rehabilitation training. Stem cell therapy is not effective, and now the state does not allow stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy to be used clinically. As for whether it can be the same as normal people, it is not easy to say, because the goal of treating cerebral palsy is to get as close to normal people as possible, it depends on the way of post-operative rehabilitation training and the time.
