Hip dysplasia is a congenital defect of the hip joint in infants with mismatch of the femoral head and the acetabulum. It can be treated in infants via conservative or surgical containment of the femoral head. In developing countries cases of hip dysplasia are often overlooked and neglected. Therefore, many cases of severe coxarthrosis with dislocations of the femoral head can be observed. The dislocation complicates the implantation of a hip prosthesis. This article shows a novel technique in total hip replacement in a case report.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
