Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Surgery is usually reserved for patients with hip dislocation.

Indications

• Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
  • Hip dislocation
    • Reconstructive hip surgery can be done in patients who are suffering with hip dislocation.
    • But the risk of comorbidities after the surgery should be considered.
