Primary single stage Total Hip Arthroplasty in a patient 40 years post traumatic Hip dysplasia, a case report

Abstract

Introduction Hip dysplasia refers to an abnormal development of size, shape, or organization of the femoral head, acetabulum, or both. Managing acetabular dysplasia is very challenging in arthroplasty especially in traumatic hip dysplasia case. Mostly, hip dysplasia cases need a special implant, procedure and techniques. Case presentation We performed primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) + partial tenotomy of hamstring, iliotibial band, hip abductor in a 73 year old male. His main complaint was that he was unable to sit due to an increasingly intense pain since 3 months ago and he has been unable to walk properly since 40 years ago when he had a major traffic accident and received inadequate treatment. The procedure had been successfully done using a well press-fit cementless acetabular cup and a cementless narrow stem application 1 cm on leg length discrepancy (LLD). Conclusion Preoperative planning, surgical techniques and a post-surgery rehabilitation are the key to a successful management in this case.

The Effect of Self-Reported Lactose Intolerance and Dairy Consumption on Bone Mineral Density among American Hip Arthroplasty Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…All patients received hip arthroplasty surgery (either total hip replacement or hip resurfacing). Hip resurfacing is typically performed on younger patients with severe degenerative hip arthritis/osteoarthritis (approximately 70%), but also hip dysplasia, osteonecrosis, and post traumatic arthritis [ 33 ]. The BMD of osteoarthritic patients may be greater than the general population [ 34 ].…”
