# Primary Staged Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Patient With Short Stature and Hartofilakidis Type I Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

## TL;DR

This case report details a complex hip surgery for a rare syndrome involving short stature and hip dysplasia.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare case of staged bilateral THA in a patient with osteochondrodysplasia and DDH.

## Key findings

- Staged bilateral THA was successfully performed in a patient with a rare syndrome.
- Proper prosthesis selection was crucial for managing surgical challenges in this case.

## Abstract

Syndromes associated with osteochondrodysplasia, short stature, and DDH are rarely reported in the literature. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in such cases is a complex procedure with a high rate of complications and difficulties. In this case report, we describe the staged bilateral complex primary THA of a patient with the rare occurrence of a syndrome involving osteochondrodysplasia and DDH, highlighting the surgical challenges and importance of the right prosthesis selection.
