Surgical and non-surgical management of spasticity in the paediatric upper limb
One (Day 2)
4
6 + 2 min
The paediatric upper limb in cerebral palsy presents a clinical problem with no single right answer — spasticity affects function in ways that vary patient to patient, and the choice between non-surgical, neuromodulatory, and surgical interventions is rarely straightforward.
The Day 2 cerebral palsy session opens with Dr Praveen Bhardwaj on the spectrum of surgical and non-surgical approaches to spasticity, followed by Dr Chasanal on the strategic use of botulinum toxin. The session closes with Dr Terrence Jerome on hyperselective neurectomy — the most recent and most technically demanding addition to the surgical armamentarium.
