About Cerebral Palsy and VDRO Surgery to Improve Mobility

Children growing up with cerebral palsy often develop an involuntary tightness in the muscles around their hips. This video explains how that occurs and how a surgery called femoral varus derotational osteotomy, or VDRO surgery, can help improve mobility for children with cerebral palsy.

Surgeons at Children’s Hospital Colorado can perform VRDO surgery to address the spasticity that can occur due to pediatric cerebral palsy. This cerebral palsy surgery can help to greatly increase mobility and range of motion in the hips, which translates to an improvement in quality of life. Watch the video to learn about the process of the VRDO surgery, risks, benefits and recovery time.
