Total hip arthroplasty in an adult patient with pelvic dysmorphism, unilateral sacroiliac joint autofusion, and developmental hip dysplasia.

ABSTRACT: This case describes the challenges associated with total hip arthroplasty in a patient with unique anatomy, including developmental dysplasia of the hip, pelvic dysmorphism, and unilateral sacroiliac joint autofusion. A 30-year-old female, with a history of developmental dysplasia of the hip treated with presumed pelvic osteotomy complicated by postoperative infection, presented with hip pain refractory to conservative management. Radiographic studies demonstrated a 10-cm leg length discrepancy, 20° of acetabular retroversion, severe hemipelvic dysmorphism, ipsilateral sacroiliac joint autofusion, and significant femoral head dysplasia. Total hip arthroplasty was performed using a revision acetabular component and modular femoral component, resulting in improvement in the postoperative leg length discrepancy. There were no neurovascular or other perioperative complications, and the patient was ambulating without pain or assistive devices at 1-year follow-up.

Project description:BackgroundWhen reconstructing a hip with developmental dysplasia and high dislocation, sub-trochanteric shortening osteotomy is typically needed for placing the acetabular component in the appropriate anatomical position. However, the procedure can result in complications such as non-union of the osteotomy. We evaluated the contact area and the coincidence rate between the proximal and distal fragments at different femoral osteotomy levels and lengths. We then determined the optimal location of subtrochanteric femoral shortening transverse osteotomy in patients with unilateral Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The consistency between the proximal and distal segments was assessed as a possible predictive indicator of the union at the osteotomy site.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 57 patients with unilateral Crowe type IV?DDH who underwent X-ray imaging of both hip joints. We labelled the inner and outer diameters of the circular ring as N (mm) and M (mm), respectively. We defined the overlapped area between the proximal and distal ring as contact area S (mm2), and the ratio of contact area to distal ring area as coincidence rate R.ResultsN varied from 9.8-15.2?mm and M varied from 20.7-24?mm, both demonstrated a decreasing trend in the proximal to distal direction. At osteotomy lengths ranging from 0.5-2?cm, there were no differences in S between the different levels of osteotomy in each group. At osteotomy lengths ?2.5?cm, a significant higher coincidence rate was noted from 2?cm below the lesser trochanter to other positions below the level. At osteotomy lengths from 3 to 5.5?cm, a significantly higher coincidence rate was observed from the level of 1.5?cm below the lesser trochanter to other positions below the level.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that femoral shortening transverse osteotomy at the optimal subtrochanteric level can predictably increase the contact area and coincidence rate, which may contribute to the union at the osteotomy site. Considering the stability of the prostheses, it appears appropriate that osteotomy location should be shifted slightly distally.Trial registrationRetrospectively registered.
