SLOB

SDR & SLOB Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy cuts sensory nerve rootlets to reduce recycling signals. The reduction in spasticity is quite impressive. Yet, the imbalance persists. That imbalance damages the hip. If such damage is already present, SDR will not only not treat it, the loss of hip structure accelerates as lower tension allows the ball to ride more lateral over softer cup edge with greater ability to do damage and with less medial compression to keep the ball seated deep. This is common to many conditions. Low tone asymmetry dislocates more and faster than high tone. If Shenton's Lines are broken, it is wise to not do SDR until that instability has been eliminated and muscular imbalance made better.
