The 14 outpatients transferred for surgery on the hips and legs also made significant gains, primarily in hygiene and sitting tolerance. Unfortunately, they required two to four times the period of hospitalization of similarly involved nonretarded children. This is an important consideration in the outpatient group, perhaps less so in the previously institutionalized child. In the entire group of patients, including those followed for less than five years, we have had three deaths. Two were due to pneumonia, two months and four months after the hip procedure. One was due to osteosarcoma of the operated femur four years postoperatively.
转至髋部和腿部手术的14名门诊患者也取得了显著进展，主要体现在卫生习惯和久坐耐受方面。不幸的是，他们所需的住院时间是同样病情的非智障儿童的两到四倍。这在门诊患者组中是一个重要的考量因素，对于之前在机构中生活的儿童来说可能相对没那么重要。在整个患者组中，包括随访时间不足五年的患者，我们有三例死亡病例。两例死于肺炎，分别在髋部手术后两个月和四个月。一例死于术后四年手术侧股骨的骨肉瘤。
