Abstract:
Eleven children with cerebral palsy were studied after shelf acetabular augmentation for progressive hip subluxation. Evaluation was based on computed tomography (CT) scans and radiographic measurements. We noted significant improvement in subluxation as measured by migration percentage, without increased subluxation of the nonoperated hip. Preoperatively, our patients had anterior acetabular deficiencies and increased acetabular anteversion, but no posterior deficiency by CT scanning. The acetabular shelves were positioned relatively more anteriorly than posteriorly. This appears to be appropriate owing to the relative anterior deficiencies of the acetabuli in our patients.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential....
