TL;DR: There is a need to revise clinical protocols by using BoNT-A more thoughtfully, less frequently and with greatly enhanced monitoring of the effects on injected muscle for both short-term and long-term benefits and harms.

TL;DR: There was a strong correlation between hip morphology and the presence of pelvic obliquity (effect of ITDL on Sharpe's angle in the higher hip; rho 7.20) and this was particularly true in non-ambulant adolescents (GMFCS IV and V) with severe pelvic ob liquity, but was also easily detectable and clinically relevant in ambulant adolescents with mild pelvic obLiquity.

TL;DR: The transverse gastrocsoleus recession described by Vulpius is an effective procedure for equinus gait in selected children with CP, when there is a fixed contracture of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

TL;DR: The combined surgical–medical intervention resulted in a reduction of spastic hip subluxation and improvements in gross motor function, as determined by the FMS, useful as a temporizing measure before definitive decisions are made considering such interventions as dorsal rhizotomy, intrathecal baclofen and single-event, multilevel surgery.

TL;DR: Transverse division of the conjoined tendon resulted in predictable, controlled lengthening of the gastrocsoleus muscle-tendon unit, and the lengthening achieved was dependent both on the level of the cut in the Conjoined tendon and Division of the midline raphé.
