| Summary: | Hip geometry abnormalities found in patients with hereditary
multiple exostoses (HME) could promote premature hip
joint degeneration which needs treatment. We report the case
of a 45-year old male with right hip arthrosis who underwent
two-incision minimally invasive (MIS-2) total hip
arthroplasty (THA), with satisfactory outcome. This
technique could be an alternative approach for performing
THA in patients with hereditary multiple exostoses. |
