Abstract:
We performed a cross-sectional study of 160 adult patients with severe cerebral palsy to study the relationship between radiographic hip disorders (migration and deformity of the femoral head), on the one hand, and complications such as handling problems, seating problems, decubitus ulcers, fractures and contractures, on the other hand. Both migration and deformity were positively related to the need for a special seat in the wheelchair and adduction contractures of the hip. We conclude that migration and deformity of the femoral head, if possible, should be prevented in patients with severe cerebral palsy.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
