Eighty-five patients with cerebral palsy had modified adductor muscle transfers. A study of associated patient characteristics suggests that comparing adductor transfer with adductor release using postoperative radiographs, need for subsequent surgery, or postoperative motor skills is flawed by multiple variables. Adductor release and adductor transfer are best compared by measuring the abduction obtained at surgery and maintained over time. A follow-up of 141 modified adductor transfers with no prior or concomitant hip surgery demonstrated an averaged initial improvement in abduction of 43 degrees and maintenance of abduction with a low incidence of recurrence.
