BACKGROUND: Patients with dysplasia of the hip (DDH) have different degrees of bone defects above and outside the acetabulum, and anatomically reconstructing the acetabular centre of rotation is difficult in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: From April 2012 to December 2022, 64 patients (64 hips) with DDH treated with THA with structural bone graft in the superolateral acetabulum were selected. The Oxford hip score(OHS), Barthel index (BI), leg length discrepancy, Wibegr central edge-angle(CE), gluteus medius muscle strength, vertical and horizontal distance of the hip rotation center, coverage rate of the bone graft and complications were used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the patients...
