Fixation by Autogenous Cortical Plate Technique on Sites of Subtrochanteric Shortening Osteotomy Contributes to Early Bone Union in Total Hip Arthroplasty for Crowe Type IV Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Abstract:Aim
Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) is often applied during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in high hip dislocations. The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the results of fixation by autogenous cortical plate technique on sites of SSO in THA for patients with Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
Methods
We conducted a historical prospective cohort study and reviewed 67 patients (82 THAs) with SSO performed between March 2016 and May 202… Show more
