Ten-year results of 55 dysplasia hips of hip offset and leg length reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty with cementless tapered stems having a high offset option designed for dysplastic femur.

CONCLUSION: Anatomical consistency could be maintained by using a stem which matched geometry of the proximal part and had offset option. These cementless tapered stems having a high offset option are suitable for Crowe I to III hip dysplasia if two-dimensional X-ray templates fit the shape of the proximal femurs. They were associated with excellent clinical results and biological fixation. The offset option may be useful to adjust leg length and offset in DDH patients. PMID: 32186225 [PubMed - in process]
