Where this comes from

Abstract

Pain or skin irritation due to the femoral stump after proximal femoral resection for chronic spastic hip dislocation in children with severe cerebral palsy may be encountered. We describe a technique that, to our knowledge, has been unreported earlier and can deal with this phenomenon to improve the patient's comfort level and help the patient to sit more comfortably.
