Abstract:
A 58-year-old man developed a 14 cm limb length discrepancy with a shortened and ankylosed right hip as a sequelae of multiple surgeries for recurrent dislocation and periprosthetic joint infection. He was successfully treated by limb elongation with external fixation and subsequent revision total hip arthroplasty. We discuss the efficacy of the two-staged reconstruction with initial limb elongation.
