Background. The goal of our study was to assess the efficacy of total hip replacement in the treatment of dysplastic arthrosis of the hip. Material and methods. Between November 2001 and June 2003 we performed total hip replacement in 40 patients (46 hips). Arthritic deformations were classified according to Crowe's classification scheme and operated using a variety of techniques and prostheses...

Hip dysplasia is a developmental disorder that results in anatomic abnormalities in which the acetabular coverage is insufficient. In the absence of severe degenerative changes, younger active patients with these symptomatic structural abnormalities are increasingly managed with joint-preserving operations. Historically there have been numerous reconstructive pelvic osteotomies. In recent years...

The author is presenting his experience in surgical reconstruction of the dysplastic acetabular roof. combined with a simultaneous reduction subluxed hip. This method was under author’s elaboration since 1927 and it named by him as transiliac osteotomy 1958. Detailed technique described.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate three-dimensional (3D) distribution of acetabular articular cartilage thickness in patients with hip dysplasia using in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and to compare cartilage thickness distribution between normal and dysplastic hips. DESIGN Forty-five dysplastic hips without joint space narrowing on radiographs and 13 normal hips underwe...

developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) or congenital hip dysplasia (cdh) is the most prevalent developmental childhood hip disorder. it includes a wide spectrum of hip abnormalities ranging from dysplasia to subluxation and complete dislocation of the hip joint. the natural history of neglected ddh in adults is highly variable. the mean age of onset of symptoms is 34.5 years for dysplastic dd...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is a retrospective assessment of artificial hip joint function and stability of cementless stems of varied design used in the treatment of deformative and degenerative dysplastic changes in the hip. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study enrolled 182 patients treated by cementless total hip arthroplasty. The average age of the patients was 44 years and the follow-up ...
