Told to contact [[Wrightington Hospital]] to chase appointment there. 10.03.2025 - 29.04.2025 - meeting with consultant at Wrightington. Look at dysplasia and potential treatment options. Next step is CT scan - 05.06.25 - CT scan - September - follow up appointment. ## Condition ### Summary - I have developmental dysplasia of the hip, also likely causing subluxation. - I also have a shortened femoral neck and unusual head shape across both femurs and a deeper left hip socket (acetabulum) - this is causing osteoarthritis in the hips (hip degeneration) - This has already caused a labral tear with a cyst in my right hip. - [[MRI Scan outcomes]] - [[What is a hip subluxation]] - [[Hip Dysplasia]] - [[Source - Labral Tear by nuffieldhealth.com|Labral Tear]] ## Treatments - [[Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO)]] - [[total hip replacement or arthroplasty (THA)]] THA is only option if there has been moderate to significant arthritis, ie if the Tönnis grade ≥2 THA is problematic not just because they don't last as long, but because [[revision THA surgeries are harder and less durable than primary replacements]]. ### questions - what to do about femurs and deformed femoral heads? - What about the other hip? Compensating or problematic? - What about knees and spine? - What are potential complications ## Links - [[Fit and Healthy Ed Moloney]] -
