title: Dura arthroplasty of the hip: a case report.
abstract: The authors describe the use of a freeze-dried human dura allograft in a 9-year-old child with a dislocated hip of many years duration. The membrane was placed over the deformed femoral head prior to open reduction and a Chiari medial displacement osteotomy to prevent damage to the articular cartilage.
