What this study is about

This trial is testing whether a pain injection is as effective as epidural anesthesia for managing postoperative pain after hip surgery in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to compare the effectiveness of a multimodal surgical site injection versus epidural anesthesia for postoperative pain control following operative management of hip dysplasia in pediatric patients with CP.
