Which approach? • Which type of prosthesis? • Femoral shortening osteotomy? Or not?
First operation on the left side. Acetabular component cemented in the true acetabulum augmented with autograft secured with 2 screws. Femoral component inserted at the lesser trochanter level. It was impossible to reduce the hip. Rather than do a shortening femoral osteotomy, I prefered inserting the femoral component 2 cm below the lesser trochanter. No problem to fix the greater trochanter. Lengthening 6.5 cm.
An acetabular reinforcement device was added on the right side because the acetabular bone was soft and fragile. Same problem as on the left side with the femur. Bone section 2 cm below the lesser trochanter. No problem to fix the greater trochanter. Left hip : 18 months PO 110 0 30 20 30 20 6 6 6 Right hip : 1 year PO 110 0 30 20 30 20 6 6 6
