Radiological Study of the hip joint in cerebral palsy
" The incidence of dislocations of the hip joints was more frequent in patients who were incapable of weight bearing than in patients
who were capable of weight bearing......the present investigator has concluded that femoral neck becomes valgus with an increased
anteversion in longstanding CP patients who are especially unable to stand or walk."

Development of the hip joints in un-operated children with cerebral palsy: a radiographic study of 76 patients
"There is a pronounced trend toward displacement of the hips in quadriplegic CP patients who are under 5 years of age and cannot
walk."

Femoral anteversion and neck shaft angle in children with cerebral palsy
"The angles of femoral anteversion were similar at early ages between healthy children and children with cerebral palsy. However, as the
age of the children increased those with cerebral palsy showed little change in anteversion angle, whereas the healthy children had
progressively decreasing angle of femoral anteversion.....neck-shaft angle was increased significantly in children with cp compared with
the angles of healthy children. Patients who were ambulatory were shown to have an increased angle of femoral anteversion and a
decreased neck-shaft angle compared with non-ambulatory patients "

Results of surgical correction of flexion contractures of the knee joint in CP children (Authors’s transl)
"Investigation of the causes for not walking showed the importance of motor preconditioning. Only children who had knee-standing
before operation learned free walking. Major lack of motor development was most frequently preventing walking."
