[Total hip arthroplasty after previous support proximal femoral osteotomy].
Clinical outcome and technical difficulties observed after total hip arthroplasty (THA) subsequent to support proximal femur osteotomy were studied in 6 total hip arthroplasties. 6 patients were follow up at an average 6.2 years after THA. The average Harris hip score before THA was 57 and after 83.6. The average leg abbreviation after THA was 1.2 cm. In one case femur perforation made impossible to stem implantation. Support proximal femoral osteotomy may make routine insertion of a femoral prosthesis difficult and jeopardize the clinical and radiological outcome of future THA.
