Abstrakt: High congenital dislocation of the hip joint causes biomechanical instability around the hip. In most cases of high dislocation, the true acetabulum is small and the upwardly displaced femur is dysplastic with a narrow medullary canal, a small head and an anteverted neck. A joint-preserving procedure is not recommended for patients with this condition. Total hip arthroplasty is the most suitable procedure for responding to the needs of the present-day patient by providing a pain-free and mobile hip. The surgeon should keep in mind that the choice of components is directly related to postsurgery durability. To satisfying this requirement, the authors [1] have developed two new techniques. Herein authors report the cases that were treated with these techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
