[Alloarthroplastic treatment of congenital hip dysplasia]

The implantation of a total prosthesis to treat the anatomical changes following dysplasia of the hip requires a special operative technique and the availability of implants that can be individually adapted to the joint at operation. This paper deals with special prosthesis systems, particularly in combination with autologous acetabular bone grafting. Long-term acetabulur results show rates of loosening comparable to those observed after the treatment of primary osteoarthrosis.
