About Adductor Tenotomy

Adductor tenotomy is a specialized pediatric orthopedic surgical procedure designed to release tight adductor muscles in the hip, primarily in children with neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy. The goal is to improve hip abduction, reduce pain, prevent hip dislocation, and enhance overall mobility and positioning. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the groin area to carefully cut or lengthen the tight adductor tendons. This minimally invasive surgery is often performed to correct hip subluxation, manage spasticity, and facilitate better care and seating. It is a crucial intervention to preserve hip joint integrity and improve a child's quality of life and functional independence.

Key Highlights

Improves hip range of motion and abduction.Helps prevent or treat painful hip subluxation or dislocation.Reduces muscle spasticity and associated discomfort.Enhances ease of care, dressing, and seating positioning.Minimally invasive technique with relatively small incisions.Aims to preserve long-term hip joint health and function./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Hip adduction contractures in children with cerebral palsy or other neuromuscular disorders.
Hip subluxation or dislocation caused by spastic adductor muscles.
Severe 'scissoring' gait pattern that impedes walking or standing.
Pain in the hip or groin region due to muscle tightness.

Post-operative pain, swelling, or bruising.
Scar formation at the incision site.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay for initial pain management and monitoring.
Use of hip abduction braces or casts for several weeks to maintain corrected position.
Pain management with prescribed medications.

PATIENT REVIEW

Vihaan Garcia is a cheerful 6-year-old...

Vihaan Garcia is a cheerful 6-year-old boy with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. He loves playing with toy cars and watching cartoons. For years, his parents noticed his legs would 'scissor' tightly together, making walking with his walker exhausting and unstable. He often fell, and dressing or diaper changes became a painful struggle as his adductor muscles were constantly tight. His pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that Vihaan's spasticity was causing painful hip subluxation and that a bilateral adductor tenotomy was needed to release the tight muscles, preserve his hip joints, and improve his comfort and mobility. The procedure was straightforward. Vihaan was nervous before the anesthesia, but the child life specialist helped with a toy doctor kit. After surgery, he had soft casts on his legs for a few weeks to maintain the new, wider position. Recovery involved gentle physical therapy. Six months later, Vihaan's hips are stable on X-ray. His legs no longer scissor, making walking in his gait trainer easier and falls less frequent. Personal care is no longer a battle. Emotionally, the journey was taxing for his family, filled with anxiety about surgery. Now, they feel immense relief seeing Vihaan more comfortable, independent, and smiling as he moves with greater ease.
