Abstract

BAC KGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare procedure in pediatric patients. Although it shows excellent results in adults, the presence of growth plates, the limited longevity of implants, and the hip-spine biomechanics involved during growth make the outcomes of THA in children uncertain. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that THA yields satisfactory results for children suffering from unmanageable pain due to hip joint osteoarthrosis. METHODS AND SETTINGS: 27 patients aged

Fields of Study & Subjects

Orthopedic Infections and Treatments Orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty Bone fractures and treatments
