Postoperative management<br />

Conclusions<br />

Upper extremity surgery can be<br />

rewarding and beneficial in <strong>pro</strong>bably<br />

selected patients with cerebral palsy. Only<br />

few hands disabled by cerebral palsy can<br />

be helped by surgery. Early surgery may<br />

shorten the period for physical therapy.<br />

introduction<br />

Since the Orthopedic Department in<br />

Lublin in 1954 (7. 12. 1954) was created up<br />

to the present time – orthopaedic surgeon<br />

in Lublin deals very often with treatment<br />

of children with clubfoot. Especially since<br />

the creation of the Department of Pediatric<br />

Orthopedics IP AM (1.10.1970) researches<br />

and publications have been more frequent<br />

and bring lot of new values.<br />

Material and method<br />

The material from the Pediatric<br />

Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Department<br />

have been analyzed with details on material<br />

from years 1970 – 2000. In the years 1970 –<br />

2000 we have treated surgically with Turco<br />

method with the own modifications: 1080<br />

children, 1315 feet, 706 boys, 374 girls. We<br />

distinguished according to the descriptions<br />

of Dimeglio four types of feet deformations.<br />

These are: soft-soft, soft-stiff, stiffsoft<br />

and stiff-stiff. In our Department we<br />

also distinguished “pure” (or “exclusive”)<br />

clubfoot – congenital deformity and clubfoot<br />

– and other group with the neurogenic<br />

component (5 % – 8 % such cases).<br />

This second group is particularly difficult<br />

to treat. From 1954 (the creation of the<br />

Orthopaedic Department in Lublin) to<br />

1975 clubfoot treatment – was carried out<br />

according to the old concept and has been<br />

difficult, long and not very effective. In the<br />

50’s and 60’s of the twentieth century has<br />

always planned (at the outset), two or three<br />

operational stages <strong>pro</strong>gram (posterior and<br />

medial capsulotomy, Achilles tendon, TP,<br />

FHL, FDL tendons elongation, TA transfer)<br />

and such “repetitions”.<br />

From 1975 to <strong>2012</strong> only about 10% –20%<br />

of children requires a full “operational <strong>pro</strong>gramm”<br />

and requires operator experience<br />

and perfection. Now (1995–<strong>2012</strong>) – from<br />

80% to 90% of children we are able to heal<br />

the feet without any surgery.<br />

Principles of treatment<br />

We present them at points: 1. early beginning<br />

of conservative corrections (manipulations<br />

and plastering) – from the first/<br />

second day after birth, 2. removal of deformation<br />
