The results of total hip joint endoprosthesis for congenital hip dislocation
Objective: To study the results of total hip joint endoprosthesis for congenital hip dislocation. Methods: 62 patients (61 women and 1 man) with congenital hip dislocation performed hip joint endoprosthesis. The average age of the patients was 20.5 years (from 18 to 23 years). The survey included clinical and radiological methods of investigation. The technical features of surgical interventions are described. Results: Postoperative assessment of the results by the Harris scale was as follows: excellent (more than 85 points) in 21 (33.9%); good (more than 80 points) - 32 (51.6%), satisfactory (70-79 points) - 9 (14.5%) patients. The estimation of the offset centre of rotation of the head thigh bones, the protrusion of the prosthesis cup and the state bringing down thighs of the hip. Conclusions: Total hip replacement is the only effective method to treat congenital hip dislocation. The results of the executed operation point to the need for broad implementation of this method into clinical practice.
