Reconstruction of the iliofemoral ligament with an artificial ligament for recurrent anterior dislocation of total hip arthroplasty

Takaaki Fujishiro et al. J Arthroplasty. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

An 86-year-old woman underwent 4 revisions of hip arthroplasty and showed good position of both acetabular and femoral components. This was confirmed by roentgenographic measurements in the prone position. However, poor anterior acetabular covering after posterior inclination of the pelvis associated with lumbar kyphosis was observed in the standing position. Therefore, we reconstructed the iliofemoral ligament using a Leeds-Keio ligament to prevent anterior dislocation. At the 12-month follow-up evaluation, hip stability was confirmed, and the hip showed no further dislocation.
