HAND CLIN , 2003, vol. 19, n° 4, p. 679-686 Doc n°: 110965 Descripteurs : DD16 - TRAITEMENTS - MEMBRE SUPERIEUR, AJ23 - PARALYSIE CEREBRALE Surgical treatment of the upper limb in cerebral palsy aims to improve function and cosmesis, in many patients and ease of dressing and hygiene in severely disabled patients. This has been achieved through multiple simultaneous procedures. These procedures include the release, lengthening, or paralysis of deforming spastic muscles, tendon transfers, and joint stabilizations. The authors present an approach to the surgical management of upper limb cerebral palsy and a patient/caregiver-based outcomes assessment. In addition to the functional scale developed by House, cosmesis, dressing, hygiene, and overall satisfaction have been assessed and found to be significantly improved.
