title: Cementless total replacement for severely dysplastic or dislocated hips.
abstract: We report the short-term results of 100 cementless total hip replacements in 52 severely dysplastic and 48 totally dislocated hips, with some new technical solutions to the problems involved. In cases with a very narrow iliac bone, the acetabular screw ring is seated below the true cotyloid area. In hips with tight flexor and abductor muscles or with deformities of the proximal femur, various osteotomies were performed. Special attention was paid to careful pre-operative planning and precise operative technique. In spite of a high complication rate the results were generally good and even patients who required reoperation were satisfied with the final result.
