Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Hip dysplasia is a severe pathology of the musculoskeletal system which, if not diagnosed and treated in time, leads to impaired function of the hip joint. This leads to osteoarthritis, which requires surgical intervention. This report describes a case of non-union of the transverse subluxation shortening osteotomy zone combined with total hip replacement of the left hip joint. It should be noted that our report/study had some limitations, such as a short follow-up period and one patient. We believe that further research with a long follow-up period and a larger sample of patients with Crowe type DDH is needed to obtain good results. This study and patient follow-up are ongoing.Key words: Hip dysplasia, endoprosthesis, subluxation shortening osteotomy, nonunions.
