Hip

Initially, in the cases of CDH requiring total hip arthroplasty, cement with superolateral bone grafting was advocated and later, cementless acetabular components with bone grafting were recommended. The senior author had always espoused placing the acetabular component as inferior and medial as possible, and was willing to leave cementless acetabular components up to 30% uncovered. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cementless acetabular fixation in cases of CDH, at a minimum ten-year follow-up.
