The effect of the Majestro-Frost procedure on internal hip rotation during gait in patients with cerebral palsy

Intoeing is a frequent gait disturbance in patients with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and internal hip rotation (IHR) is the major cause of this condition [1,2]. Factors leading to IHR in patients with CP may be dynamic or static. O ’Sullivan et al. [2] considered the dynamic IHR in CP a multifactorial problem, with unpredictable results after soft-tissue procedures. In 2016, Jung et al. mentioned that IHR could be improved after soft-tissue procedures in independently community-ambulant patients with spastic diplegic CP [3].
