Bearing selection for total hip arthroplasty in young patients is important because of the likely long service life of the implant. Careful consideration of the next operation is recommended when…
Hip dysplasia usually has associated femoral bone deformity. When total hip arthroplasty is considered, femoral bone deformity mandates special considerations in femoral reconstruction. The common deformities in the dysplastic femur…
The wide spectrum of anatomic abnormalities that characterize hip dysplasia dictate the need for different reconstructive techniques when hip replacement is required. Multiple factors such as young age and high…
At present, hip arthroplasty is one of the most successful medical procedures available to the world, in terms of pain relief, return to function, and improvement in the quality of…
The purpose of this article is to outline key technical considerations in the performance of total hip arthroplasty after common osteotomies of both the proximal femur and acetabulum. Attention is…
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy has been performed for approximately 30 years. In that time, it has proven to be a technically complex procedure with the potential to considerably improve the…
Proximal femoral deformity is often associated with acetabular dysplasia. The correction of these deformities must consider the center of rotation of angulation as well as the joint orientation angle (medial…
This article is an overview of diagnostic imaging for skeletally mature patients who present with hip pain. It discusses preferred radiographic views to assess acetabular dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement and…
Residual hip dysplasia, a well-known cause for early osteoarthritis (OA), is a relatively common disorder in children and adolescents. Three-dimensional imaging assessment has enhanced diagnosis and treatment by allowing clear…
The operative management of developmental dysplasia of the hip is technically challenging. To achieve excellent results, surgeons need to select the most appropriate operative treatment, minimize the risk of complications,…
