Reconstruction of neglected developmental dysplasia by total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy

[摘要] Patients with untreated developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) may eventually develop secondary osteoarthritis, beginning in early adulthood. Arthroplasty is the main treatment of choice. In some countries, DDH is the main cause of hip arthritis especially in young adult females due to genetic and cultural reasons. The underlying pathology is unique, and presents structural features that need to be addressed in the course of treatment.
