Conditions for the SDR operation:

All types of patients with spastic cerebral palsy aged 4 to 14 years are good candidates for our SDR, including diplegy, quadriplegy, triplegy and hemiplegy, regardless of their preoperative level of GMFCS. (spasticity class).
The best age for our SDRs is from 4 to 14 years, the age we did is 16 years, the results are still good, but require a longer rehabilitation program.
