What is OSSCS?: | |||||||||||||
OSSCS is an orthopaedic procedure desaigned to control spasticity and athetosis in cerebral palsy(Fig.1ABCD). |

Fig. 1: Fundamentals of orthopaedic spasticity-control surgery. A: Antigravity muscles which support the body to be upright. B: Multiarticular muscles co-exist in human body. C: Black lines show hypertonicity of the multiarticular muscles. D: The multiarticular muscles are lengthened or sectioned selectively, then hypertonicity of these muscles are reduced. The monoarticular muscles are preserved and facilitated. |

Encouraging results and a new path: | |||||||||||||
By combing OSSCS with conventional orthpaedic surgery,we can deal with a wide range of problems in motor activities and ADL with encouraging results while providig a new path for functional improvements in cerebral palsy (Fig.6AB,8AC,96AB,109AB,113AB). |

Fig. 6: A 5-year-old boy Spastic diplegia, non-ambulatory 6A: Crouched posture with marked flexion and adduction deformity of the hips was observed. 6B: Seven years after OSSCS on the hips,, knees and foot and ankle. He is now a community ambulator with crutches. He is also an independent ambulator in the house. Fig. 8: 18-year-old male, Athetosis quadriplegia 8A: Involuntary movement and deformities of the fingers, thumb and wrist with rigidity were characteristic. 8C: After OSSCS, rigidity and deformity of the fingers, thumb and wrist were reduced, and dexterity of the fingers improved. Fig. 96: Improvements in gait after OSSCS 96A: A 9-year-old girl. Spastic diplegia Preoperatively, crouched posture with marked equinus in feet and internal rotation of both the hips were observed. Lumbar lordosis was also characteristic. 96B: Postoperatively, correction of equinus was achieved. Crouched posture was also corrected without operations on the hips and knees. Stability during gait was also improved. |
