Internal rotation gait cannot fully restore the frontal hip moment. Supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy (FDO) influences frontal hip kinetics in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Supracondylar FDO changes the curve progression of frontal hip moments. Supracondylar FDO restores the hip abductor moment arm. Supracondylar FDO leads to an increase in hip abductor muscle force.
