SHORTENING SUBTROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY FOR HIGH HIP DISLOCATION Daniel J. Berry, MD Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYIntroduction High Dislocation: Goals of Surgery: • Normalize hip center • Gain stable implant fixation • Optimize abductor function • Protect sciatic nerve
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYIntroduction Traditional Method: • Greater trochanteric osteotomy • Shorten femur until hip can be reduced • Insert cemented stem
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYTraditional Method Drawbacks to Traditional Method: • Problems with greater trochanter– which doesn’t always heal
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYTraditional Method Drawbacks to Traditional Method: • Permanently changes shape of proximal femur • - no metaphyseal flare
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYTraditional Method Drawbacks to Traditional Method: • Requires cemented stem • - less desirable in younger patients?
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYAdvantages Advantages of Shortening Osteotomy: • No greater trochanteric problems
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYAdvantages Advantages of Shortening Osteotomy: • Preserves architecture of proximal femur
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYAdvantages Advantages of Shortening Osteotomy: • Allows use of uncemented implants
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYAdvantages Advantages of Shortening Osteotomy: • Protects sciatic nerve
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYAdvantages Advantages of Shortening Osteotomy: • Allow leg length, femoral anteversion correction
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYResults Masonis et al. (London, Ontario): • 21 hips (F/U 6 yrs) • 10 uncemented, 11 cemented • 2 nonunions • 1 loose cemented stem
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYResults Masonis et al. (London, Ontario): • 3 dislocations • No sciatic n. injury
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYResults Mayo Clinic: • Uncemented fully coated or modular stem • 18 hips
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYResults Results: • 100% stable implants • 0% nonunions • Complications: • 1 dislocation • 0 infection
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYResults Functional Results: • Favorable return of abductor function
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYMethod • Posterior hip dislocation • Osteotomize femoral neck • Preliminary femoral preparation
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYMethod • Limited exposure of femur at planned osteotomy level • Transverse osteotomy
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYMethod • Retract femur anteriorly • Direct exposure of acetabulum • Insert cup
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYMethod • Reduce hip with trial in proximal fragment only • Shorten femur appropriately • Trial with osteotomy reduced
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYMethod • Insert femoral component • Add autogenous strut if desired
SUBTROCH. SHORTENING OSTEOTOMYConclusions • Elegant method • Safe and effective • Satisfies goals of surgery: • normalize hip center • protect nerve • stable implant fixation
