PERC: New Procedure For Treating Cerebral Palsy
PERC or Percutaneous Muscle Lengthening procedure. The surgery involves making small incisions along the tendons of the leg muscle, with hope that spasticity will be loosened and walking will be easier for children with cerebral palsy.
The procedudure takes about 1 hour to perform and does have very promising results.
