Total hip arthroplasty with rectangular stems and subtrochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy in Crowe type IV hips: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The complexity of femoral and acetabular anatomy and restoring anatomic center of hip rotation in Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) complicates standard reconstruction. The aim of this study is to evaluate surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of subtrochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy with the use of cementless rectangular cross-section femoral implants in Crowe IV dysplastic hips.

Methods

A total of 26 hips of 25 consecutive patients with Crowe type IV DDH who underwent cementless total hip arthroplasty with subtrochanteric femoral transverse shortening osteotomy were retrospectively analyzed. The Harris Hip Score, Visual Analog Scale-pain, leg length discrepancy, and vertical and lateral migration of hip rotation center were rec
