Various treatment modalities are available for the correction of crouch gait, ranging from hamstring lengthening to a combination of soft-tissue and bony procedures. We report the results of distal femoral extension osteotomy (DFEO) fixed with 90° pediatric condylar locking compression plate (LCP) and patellar tendon advancement (PTA) for crouch gait in children with cerebral palsy.
