Background
Not all hip problems can be treated with a straightforward hip replacement. Some conditions have abnormal femoral or acetabular morphology, that require specialised techniques and implants.
Conditions
- Residual hip dysplasia
- Avascular necrosis
- Perthes disease
- Protrusio acetubli
- Previous Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE)
- Previous osteotomies and hardware.
