The reconstruction of high dislocation related to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) remains challenging for joint surgeons. The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate of union, the revision rate, functional scores, and complications in patients with Crowe IV DDH treated with total hip arthroplasty, transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy, and modular stem in an average 10-year follow-up.
Crowe IV DDH patients treated with transverse subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy, modular stem, and anatomic acetabular component insertion can have satisfactory and reliable 10-year clinical outcomes.
