Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty as a Treatment for Ollier’s Disease of the Proximal Femur: a Case Report

Abstract

Ollier's disease is very rare condition that is characterized by the presence of multiple cartilaginous tumors in the long tubular bones which can lead to severe deformities and pathological fractures at early age. More commonly the lesions have a unilateral distribution. We report a case of an adult patient with medical history of Ollier's disease involving both hips treated with a 2-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a cement less ace tabular cup and a short cement less femoral stem, achieving excellent clinical and radiographic results.
