Pelvic tilt remains stable after femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO)+selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR). But pelvic tilt deteriorates after SDR only. Hip and knee extension is better after FDO+SDR than after SDR only. Spasticity reduction (by SDR) combined with bony lever arm correction (by FDO) improves gait.
