ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of total hip arthroplasty (THA) combined with subtrochanteric osteotomy in the treatment of Crowe type Ⅳdevelopmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).MethodsBetween April 2008 and June 2016, 71 patients with unilateral Crowe type Ⅳ DDH were treated with THA. Of 71 cases, 44 were performed with subtrochanteric osteotomy (osteotomy group) and 27 were performed without subtrochanteric osteotomy (non-osteotomy group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass, height, body mass index, affected side, and preoperative Harris score between 2 groups (P>0.05). The complications were recorded and the effectiveness was assessed by Harris score. Besides, the femoral dislocation height and the settling depth of sleeve were measured in the pelvic anteroposterior X-ray film pre- and post-operatively.ResultsOsteotomy group was followed up 12-90 months (mean. 34.77 months), and non-osteotomy group was followed up 12-79 months (mean, 34.33 months). There was no significant difference in follow-up time between 2 groups (t=–0.088, P=0.930). There was 11 cases of intraoperative or postoperative complications in osteotomy group, and 3 cases of postoperative complications in non-osteotomy group. Among the osteotomy group, 1 case had nonunion due to infection and received revision after 20 months. No loosening or dislocation of the implant occurred in both 2 groups. Significant differences were found in femoral dislocation height and settling depth of sleeve between 2 groups (t=–8.452, P=0.000; t=6.783, P=0.000). Moreover, the osteotomy length was not correlated with the settling depth of sleeve (r=–0.038, P=0.806). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in Harris score between 2 groups (t=–1.160, P=0.254).ConclusionTHA combined with subtrochanteric osteotomy can provide a favorable outcome for treating Crowe type Ⅳ DDH. Furthermore, patients with higher femoral dislocation and severely narrow femoral proximal canals are prone to be peformed with subtrochanteric osteotomy.
