[Purpose] To study preoperative and postoperative hip circumference data of various types
of congenital dysplasia of the hip treated with total hip replacement, including the
femoral offset, femoral neck length, height, and hip abductor arm parameters. [Subjects
and Methods] This study included seventy-eight cases of congenital dysplasia of the hip
(I–III type). Furthermore, four parameters were measured, including the preoperative and
postoperative femoral offset. Statistical data analysis was performed using the SPSS 13.0
software. [Results] The femoral offset was 33.3 ± 8.4 mm (preoperative) and 39.1 ± 7.1 mm
(postoperative). The femoral head height was 59.5 ± 8.7 mm (preoperative) and 68.8 ±
11.0 mm (postoperative). The femoral neck length was 50.8 ± 10.8 mm (preoperative) and
61.5 ± 10.4 mm (postoperative). The hip abductor arm was 54.3 ± 9.6 mm (preoperative) 64.7
± 10.1 mm (postoperative). The preoperative and postoperative parameters showed
statistical differences. Furthermore, no significant differences were evidenced when
comparing the postoperative hip parameters with the normal data parameters. [Conclusion]
Total hip replacement on congenital dysplasia of the hip could lead to the rebuilt of an
almost normal physiological anatomy for each hip case (type I–III).
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.
