Welcome to the PediPro video series, where we spotlight real-world pediatric cases that demonstrate clinical breakthroughs and multidisciplinary care. In this 8th case study, Dr. Rajat Malot, an experienced pediatric orthopedic surgeon, presents a compelling story of transformation in a child with spastic cerebral palsy. The case, titled "Advanced Surgical Intervention in Spastic Cerebral Palsy," follows the journey of an 11-year-old boy with severe lower limb deformities, born with a history of birth hypoxia and diagnosed with spastic diplegia.
Through a carefully sequenced combination of bilateral adductor release, tendo Achilles lengthening, and femoral osteotomy with patellar tendon advancement, the patient progressed from being wheelchair-bound to independently standing and walking with minimal support. Dr. Malot highlights the critical role of timely surgical correction, postoperative casting, and intensive rehabilitation in achieving functional milestones.
Join us as we delve into this powerful example of precision orthopedic intervention, neurodevelopmental insight, and the life-changing impact of early, integrated care
