Current concepts in developmental dysplasia of the hip and Total hip arthroplasty

Yan Wang. Arthroplasty. .

Abstract

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a spectrum of pathology that involves dysplasia of both the acetabulum and the femur. If left untreated, it can develop to hip pain and osteoarthritis, which eventually require total hip arthroplasty (THA). A broad array of anatomical abnormalities of the acetabulum and femur, plus the younger age of DDH patients make THA a great challenge. Meticulous operation planning with various options is one of the most important prerequisites of a successful THA. This review presents the current concepts of acetabular and femoral reconstruction in THA for DDH, including high hip center, acetabular bone deficiency, highly porous metal, correction of femoral anteversion, femoral shortening osteotomy, stem selection, among others.

Keywords: Abnormalities; Hip dysplasia; Reconstruction.
