Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the clinical result of congenital muscular torticollis treatment in patients older than 8 years.
Materials and Methods
Thirty two patients over 8 years who had not received any prior medical treatment or who recurred after the initial operation were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups (Group 1; still in growth and Group 2; reached full growth). The average follow-up period was 9 months. Clinical results were assessed by using motion deficits, craniofacial asymmetry, scarrng, band, head tilt, and by subjective assessment.
