title: Cementless total hip arthroplasty for dysplastic and dislocated hips.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We evaluated the clinical and radiographic results of exclusively the same type and standard sized cementless total hip prostheses applied to all dysplastic and dislocated hips.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study, we retrospectively reviewed 69 patients' (63 females, 6 males; mean age 45.6 years; range 20 to 72 years) 103 dysplastic or dislocated hips on which cementless total hip arthroplasty was performed between January 1998 and January 2006. The mean duration of follow-up was 7.2 years (range 2.0-10.1 years). Eighteen hips (17%) were type I, 29 hips (28%) were type II, 23 hips (22%) were type III and 33 hips (32%) were type IV according to the Crowe classification. Functional and clinical analyses were performed by Harris hip scores. At the last follow-up, the patients were asked whether they were satisfied or not after the operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average preoperative Harris hip score of 39.3 was progressed to 89.5 at the latest follow-ups (p<0.001). Sixty patients (86.9%) reported that they were satisfied after surgery. We observed 41 (39.8%) complications in total, nine of which were intraoperative. There were no findings of symptomatic septic or aseptic loosening at the latest follow-ups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cementless total hip arthroplasty is an effective procedure for developmental dysplastic and dislocated hips.
