My daughter had the adductor releases done when she was 3. Her hips were not out, but they were going to be soon if we didn't do it. Her left was more involved with about an inch long scar and her right has one only about a quart of an inch long. She had her adductors released, hamstrings lengthened and heelcords lengthened. She was in a cast for about 6 weeks which was NOT fun. But still small enough to lift in it. They dont usually do this surgery on children that young but we were "special" ha ha. And will probably have to repeat it in a few years. Back then they said they usually waited til they were around 10 to do it.

I know Paul from Austrailia has some insight on this from the other side. Im really no help at all with the Rhizotomy surgery. Im sure someone around here can be of more help to you. But thats our experience.

Good luck.

Carrie.
