Abstract/Summary

Background and purpose!#!Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful approach to treat unilateral symptomatic neglected hip dislocation (NHD). However, the extensive leg length discrepancy (LLD) can hereby only be partially corrected. In case of residual LLD of more than 2 cm, subsequent femoral lengthening can be considered.!##!Patients/material/methods!#!Retrospective analysis of clinical data and radiographs of five patients (age 38.1 (28-51) years) with unilateral NHD who underwent THA with (n = 3) or without (n = 2) subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) and secondary intramedullary femoral lengthening through a retrograde magnetically-driven lengthening nail (follow-up 18.4 (15-27) months).!##!Results!#!LLD was 51.0 (45-60) mm before and 37.0 (30-45) mm after THA. Delayed bone union at one SSO site healed after revision with autologous bone grafting and plate fixation. Subsequent lengthening led to leg length equalisation in all patients. Complete consolidation was documented in all lengthened segments.!##!Conclusion!#!Staged reconstruction via THA and secondary femoral lengthening can successfully be used to reconstruct the hip joint and equalise LLD. The specific anatomical conditions have to be taken into consideration when planning treatment, and patients ought to be closely monitored.
