Crouch gait in Cerebral Palsy: Multi-Level Surgery (OrthoChildren Center), 14 years

šŸ“Œ 14-year-old boy, affected by Cerebral Palsy, Crouch gait: very compromised walk, with severe flexion of the knees and multiple deformities of the feet, legs, knees, kneecaps, hips.

His autonomy is very limited and he needs to support himself to other people.

Other evaluations have been performed in which little prospect of functional recovery was given.

šŸ“Œ Multi-Level surgery was performed at OrthoChildren Center, Bologna (Italy) by dr Lampasi and dr Lucchesi with subsequent intensive rehabilitation.

šŸ“Œ Excellent result with recovery of a functional walk and a walking autonomy of a few kilometres. The result is maintained years later.
