Objective To summarize the methods and complications of osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty (THA) to treat Crowe type ⅠV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) so as to provide the reference for selection of surgical procedures. Methods The literature concerning THA for DDH was reviewed, and the effectiveness and complications were summarized in different methods. Results At present, four osteotomies are commonly used in DDH, including transtrochanteric osteotomy, subtrochanteric osteotomy, lesser trochanteric osteotomy, and distal femoral osteotomy. Transtrochanteric osteotomy and subtrochanteric osteotomy can effectively adjust leg length, correct femoral anteversion and avoid nerve injury, but transtrochanteric osteotomy may cause bone fracture and abductor injury. Lesser trochanteric osteotomy is scarcely used because of its poor effectiveness. Distal femoral osteotomy is usually used in patients with knee deformity. Conclusion For patients with Crowe type ⅠV DDH complicated by severe femoral dislocation and soft tissue spasm, subtrochanteric osteotomy should be selected, whereas it needs an associated standard focusing on how to select the osteotomy shape and length in subtrochanteric ostetomy, which needs an advanced research.
