Musculoskeletal Imaging in Cerebral Palsy - 22/11/19
Riassunto |
Scoliosis, hip dysplasia, and other lower extremity deformities are common musculoskeletal pathology found in patients with cerebral palsy. Imaging studies allow for an improved identification of patients with these issues, help to understand the pathology, and aid in planning treatment strategies. Most of these deformities are visualized using plain radiographic techniques. Occasionally, as in the case of preoperative planning, advanced imaging, such as computerized topography and MRI, can be used for additional information. This article provides insight into the various imaging techniques for these musculoskeletal issues and aids in better care for patients with cerebral palsy.
