Though implants and surgical techniques have improved over time, our results suggest THA in patients suffering DDH to be seriously challenging with relatively high overall complications in long-term observation and fair clinical outcome after 21 years postoperatively. There is evidence that prior osteotomy might be associated with a higher revision rate.
