Adductor tenotomy

[spandanphysio]

Hi friends, I have a 3yr old dystonic child who has been advised for adductor tenotomy after he develops adequate sitting balance. He was born premature at 6 and half months with his twin sister who is also a right sided hemiplegic as well as blind. He has achieved head control and rolling and can maintain sitting position for a while. So will tenotomy help him? He has fair hand function in right hand and poor in left one.

dear spandan,

I believe that everybody treating children should do their very best to know as much as possible about the disorders the children have and the treatment possibilities there are. I suggest you go to CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research and read up everything you can on this site. You can go AACPDM Home for lots of current information about treatment possibilities as well.

good reading
You should be able to answer your own question....
