Pelvic Osteotomy Of The Total Hip Replacement

A 56-year-old female patient had a hip operation one year previously and experienced her first dislocation two months postoperatively. The patient underwent closed reduction three times. The patient presented to us due to a fourth hip dislocation that had occurred one month previously. Hip X-ray images revealed acetabular component malposition, with an 80-degree inclination and 20 degrees of cup anteversion with a posterior hip dislocation. The investigators treated the patient via pelvic osteotomy, using a modified Stoppa approach to reduce acetabular inclination. The patient had no dislocation at the 2-year follow-up. At the last follow-up, the Harris Hip Score was 85.
