An suitable option for an analgesia for a Dega osteotomy in non- CP children is a caudal anaesthetic plus a postoperative opiate infusion or PCA and multimodal analgesia.

Post-operative lower limb spasm is not as significant a problem in this patient group as it is in children with spasticity and a postoperative epidural is not usually necessary.
