Crowe, Mani, and Ranawat report outcomes of 31 THAs in 24 patients with severe congenital hip dysplasia or dislocation (≥50% subluxation) at mean 4-year follow-up, describing the surgical technique required and introducing a four-group radiographic classification of dysplasia severity based on degree of femoral head subluxation.
The Crowe classification remains the standard system for grading developmental hip dysplasia severity and guides surgical planning for total hip arthroplasty. Higher Crowe grades typically require more complex reconstruction techniques including potential bone grafting and specialized implants.
