Area of Science:

Neurology
Orthopedics
Psychology

Background:

Little's disease, also known as cerebral palsy, is a neurological disorder.
Surgical interventions aim to improve motor function in patients with severe Little's disease.

Purpose of the Study:

To report unexpected psychological and social adverse outcomes following surgical treatment for severe Little's disease.

Main Methods:

Case study of three adult male patients with severe Little's disease.
Assessment of post-surgical mobility, psychological state, and social adjustment.

Main Results:

Patients experienced significant improvements in mobility after surgery.
Unexpected adverse psychological effects, including anxiety and depression, were observed.
Social reintegration challenges were reported despite enhanced physical capabilities.

Conclusions:

While surgery can improve mobility in severe Little's disease, psychological and social support is crucial.
Further research is needed to understand and mitigate non-motor adverse effects of surgical interventions.
