Introduction[edit | edit source]
Single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) is a single complex surgical procedure whereby "...correction of all musculoskeletal deformities producing gait abnormalities..." are addressed. Within the procedure, a combination of muscle-tendon lengthening, tendon transfer and rotational osteotomies, as well as joint stabilisations, are performed.[1]
The procedure itself is based on a detailed biomechanical assessment. [1]
Success of the procedure requires intensive post-operative rehabilitation. It must also be realized that post-operatively level of function will most likely decrease, but improve with time and healing.[1][2]
Candidates[edit | edit source]
SEMLS is usually performed on children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, with a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) of I, II or III. The procedure itself is most commonly performed on candidates with GMFCS level III.[1]
Aim of procedure[edit | edit source]
To produce functional changes in body structures and functions (consider the ICF framework) which will create positive changes to the levels of activities and ultimately participation.[1]
