Abstract

Severe post-traumatic deformities of the hip are most often treated by total joint replacement. However, in certain circumstances a joint-preserving approach is appropriate, especially in younger patients. There is minimal literature on this topic and the cases reported are few in number. In this paper we describe our experience with afflictions of the acetabulum, proximal femur and juxta-articular soft tissues where conservative procedures may best be employed. We include some new entities and their treatment options.
