Postoperative radiographic evaluation and simulation study for optimal cup placement in high-hip centre total hip arthroplasty.

CONCLUSIONS: Even in severe DDH, a high-hip centre positioned approximately 25 mm superior to the inter-teardrop line was sufficient to achieve optimal bone coverage, which could lead to more secure cup fixation.
