Before he was four months old, Christian Coghill developed cerebral palsy as the result of a brain injury from shaken baby syndrome. Later, at the age of 13, he suffered from a partially dislocated hip, an orthopaedic condition often associated with cerebral palsy. You can view Christian’s journey pre- and post-treatment at Johns Hopkins.
Johns Hopkins orthopaedic surgeon and medical director of the Ortho-Cerebral Palsy program at Kennedy Krieger Institute, Ranjit Varghese understands the importance of timing for treatment of orthopaedic issues related to cerebral palsy. He uses a specialized single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS) approach to treating children with spastic diplegia, which allows him to create a path of treatment that reduces the total number of procedures a child may need.
