Abstract

Introduction: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the leading causes of hip osteoarthritis, particularly in young patients. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment to alleviate pain and improve function in these patients. However, anatomical deformities and the variability in the presentation of DDH make these surgeries challenging.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of THA in patients with Crowe grades II, III, and IV DDH and to analyze the acetabular reconstruction techniques used.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent THA between 2008 and 2023. Patients were assessed using the Harris Hip Score and radiographic imaging. Statistical analyses were performed to compare outcomes and evaluate the relationship between age and postoperative progress.
Results: The sample included 50 patients with Crowe grades II, III, and IV DDH. Of the patients, 78% were female, with a mean age of 47.24 years. Crowe grade II DDH was found in 49.12% of the patients. The most common acetabular reconstruction technique was medialization (58%). There was no significant relationship between age and clinical outcomes. Postoperative complication rates were similar across age groups.
Conclusions: This study suggests that age does not significantly influence THA outcomes in patients with Crowe grades II, III, and IV DDH. The choice of acetabular reconstruction technique should be individualized for each case.
