  • TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY FOR THE TREATMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE HIP IN ADULTS

    【Abstract】 Objective To summarize techniques of the total hi p arthroplasty (THA) in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hi p (DDH) with severe osteoarthritis in adults. Methods From March 2000 to January 2006, 24 patients (27 hips) with DDH were treated by THA with an cementless cup. There were 7 males and 17 females, withthe average age of 49.6 years (ranging from 26 years to 63 years). Unilateral DDH occurred in 21 patients and bilateral DDH occurred in 3 patients. Based on the Crowe classification, there were 16 hips in 15 patients of type I, 4 hips in 4 patients of type II, 4 hips in 3 patients of type III, 3 hips in 2 patients of type IV. Except for 3 patients with bilateral DDH, the other patients’ ill lower l imbs were 2-7 cm shorter than the healthy lower ones. Results All the patients were followed up from 9 months to 6.5 years and no one had infection, dislocation, femur fracture and so on after the operation. In 18 patients, the pain was completely rel ieved and the function of the hip joints was good. After the gluteus medius exercise, the claudication of 3 patients after the operation disappeared. In 3 patients, the ill lower l imbs were more than 1 cm shorter than the healthy lower ones and the other patients’ ill lower l imbs were less than 1 cm shorter than the healthy lower ones. Two patients’ lower l imbs were been lengthened 4-5 cm. All the patients’ sciatic nerves were not injured. The Harris scores were 46.5 ± 7.2 preoperatively and 84.0 ± 5.7 postoperatively (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion THA with deepening the medial wall of the acetabulum at the true acetabulum and choosing small cementless cup in adult could obtain favorable results.

  • SUBTROCHANTERIC SHORTENING WITH OVERLAPPING FEMORAL RESECTION IN TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY FOR Crowe TYPE IV DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF HIP IN ADULTS

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of subtrochanteric shortening with overlapping femoral resection in total hip arthroplasty for Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Methods Between January 2004 and December 2010, 37 patients (44 hips) with Crowe type IV DDH underwent subtrochanteric shortening with overlapping femoral resection in total hip arthroplasty with cementless prosthesis. There were 15 males (18 hips) and 22 females (26 hips) with an average age of 42 years (range, 24-46 years). Unilateral hip was involved in 30 cases and bilateral hips in 7 cases. Preoperative X-ray films showed complete dislocation of the femoral head and hypoplasia of the acetabulum and proximal femur. Before operation, the leg discrepancy was (5.5 ± 1.1) cm, and the Harris score was 32.1 ± 5.2. Results The mean operation time was 4.3 hours (range, 3-6 hours); the mean blood loss was 760 mL (range, 600-1 000 mL). All patients obtained primary healing of incision. The patients were followed up 1-8 years (mean, 6.7 years). Pain relief was achieved; 6 cases had mild claudication; 3 cases had femoral nerve palsy; and no stretch injury of sciatic nerve was observed. X-ray films showed that acetabular cups were in normal position. The healing time of fracture was 3-6 months (mean, 3.7 months). The leg discrepancy was (1.5 ± 1.0) cm at 1 day after operation, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative one (t=16.45, P=0.00). The Harris score was 94.3 ± 3.8 at 3 months after operation, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative score (t=59.15, P=0.00). No revision of acetabular and femoral prostheses was performed during follow-up. Conclusion Subtrochanteric shortening with overlapping femoral resection in total hip arthroplasty is a safe method of restoring the anatomic hip center in Crowe type IV DDH in adults. It can avoid reduction difficulty caused by soft tissue contracture and injuries of sciatic nerve and femoral nerve caused by limb lengthening.
