Total hip arthroplasty as reconstructive treatment in patients with cerebral palsy: a comparative study of postoperative outcomes between patients with developmental hip dysplasia and cerebral palsy hip dysplasia.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) has emerged as a viable treatment for end-stage hip disease in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), yet long-term comparative data remain limited. This study evaluates postoperative outcomes in CP patients with hip dysplasia compared to a matched cohort with developmental hip dysplasia (DDH).
methodsA retrospective comparative analysis of 72 patients (14 CP, 58 DDH) undergoing primary THA between November 2016 and December 2022 at a tertiary trauma center. All procedures used cementless Wagner SL stems and Zimmer Biomet acetabular components (G7, Trilogy, or TMT). Radiological parameters (stem alignment, acetabular inclination, anteversion) were measured using TraumaCad. Functional outcomes were assessed using modified Harris Hip Score (DDH) and CP-specific scales (CP group). Minimum follow-up was 12 months (mean 3 years).
resultsNo significant differences were observed between groups in surgical time (138.5 vs. 139.4 min, p = 0.629), postoperative complications (21.3% vs. 12.2%, p = 0.633), or dislocation rates (7.14% vs. 5.17%, p = 0.72). The CP group required significantly more transfusions (50% vs. 13.7%, p = 0.01), but preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels were similar between groups (p > 0.05). Both groups demonstrated significant functional improvement and high satisfaction rates (92.3% vs. 96.55%, p = 0.472).
conclusionsTHA provides safe and effective pain relief and functional restoration in CP patients with hip dysplasia, with comparable outcomes to DDH patients despite greater surgical complexity. Tailored surgical approaches, including soft-tissue releases and selective femoral osteotomy, optimize outcomes in this population.
