    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To discuss the methods and outcome of shorting proximal femoral and total hip arthroplasty for Crowe IV dysplastic hip of adults. METHODS: From July 2000 to February 2006, 13 cases of osteoarthritis secondary to severe development dysplastic hip were treated by total hip replacement and the shorting proximal femoral. RESULTS: The duration of follow-up ranged from 4 months to 55 months. The average score increased from 36.9 to 84.1 points after the surgery according to Harris. All the patients could walk independently. Their paces were improved obviously and the function of their hips was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: The treatment by total hip arthroplasty and the shorting of posterior femoral is effective and efficient for osteoarthritis secondary to Crowe IV development dysplastic hip in adults. The long-term followup is necessary for further study.
