    ON 14-MAR-2025, A RETROSPECTIVE JOURNAL ARTICLE WAS RETRIEVED FROM ORTHOPAEDICS & TRAUMATOLOGY: SURGERY & RESEARCH (2024) THAT REPORTED A STUDY FROM TURKEY. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO DEMONSTRATE WHETHER TRANSVERSE OR STEP-CUT OSTEOTOMY IS SUPERIOR IN HIPS WHO UNDERGO ARTHROPLASTY FOR HIGH RIDING HIP DYSPLASIA. THE STUDY REVIEWED THE CHALLENGES AND COMPLICATIONS ENCOUNTERED DURING 99 HIPS/90 PATIENTS (9 BILATERAL/81 UNILATERAL) (50 RIGHT/49 LEFT), CEMENTLESS TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTIES COMBINED WITH TRANSVERSE OR STEP-CUT SHORTENING OSTEOTOMIES PERFORMED FOR CROWE III (16) AND IV (83) DYSPLASTIC HIPS. THE SURGERIES WERE PERFORMED BETWEEN 2007-2019 USING A POSTEROLATERAL APPROACH IN 43 SURGERIES AND A DIRECT LATERAL HARDINGE APPROACH IN 56 SURGERIES. A PERCUTANEOUS ADDUCTOR TENOTOMY WAS PERFORMED TO RELEASE EXCESSIVE ADDUCTOR CONTRACTURE IN 21 CASES PRIOR TO POSITIONING THE PATIENT IN THE LATERAL DECUBITUS POSITION AND AN ILIOPSOAS TENOTOMY WAS ADDED IN 11 CASES. DR. (B)(6) PERFORMED THE TRANSVERSE OSTEOTOMIES WHILE DR. (B)(6) AND DR. (B)(6) PERFORMED STEP-CUT OSTEOTOMIES. STEP-CUT OSTEOTOMY WAS PERFORMED IN 64 HIPS (35 CDH STEM, 29 WAGNER CONE STEM), TRANSVERSE IN 35 HIPS (22 CDH, 13 WAGNER CONE). ALL FEMORAL STEMS WERE CEMENTLESS, AND TWO TYPES OF FEMORAL STEMS WERE APPLIED BASED ON THE SURGEON¿S EXPERIENCE AND PREFERENCE: (I) PROXIMAL FIXATION STRAIGHT CDH STEMS (57) (CONGENITAL DYSPLASTIC HIP) AND (II) DIAPHYSEAL FIXATION CYLINDRICAL WAGNER CONE PROSTHESIS TM STEMS (42). ALL ACETABULUMS WERE IMPLANTED USING TRILOGY IT ACETABULAR SHELL AND WERE INSTALLED IN THE TRUE ACETABULUM WITH THE SUPPORT OF AUGMENTATION SCREWS. ACETABULAR CUP SIZE WAS A MEAN OF 46 MM AND HEAD SIZE WAS MOSTLY 28 AND 32 MM. THE BILATERAL HIP SURGERIES WERE STAGED WITH AT LEAST THREE MONTHS INTERVAL BETWEEN. THE STUDY POPULATION HAD A MEAN AGE OF 48.8 YEARS AT TIME OF SURGERY (RANGE, 21-79 YEARS); (11 MALES/79 FEMALES). FOLLOW-UP WAS A MINIMUM OF TWO YEARS AND WAS CONDUCTED AT SIX WEEKS, SIX MONTHS, ONE YEAR AND ANNUALLY THEREAFTER WITH A MEAN LENGTH OF FOLLOW-UP FOR 64.3 MONTHS (RANGE, 24-192 MONTHS). IT WAS REPORTED IN A JOURNAL ARTICLE THAT A PATIENT UNDERWENT A TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY USING A STEP-CUT OSTEOTOMY. SUBSEQUENTLY, EXPERIENCED AN INTRA-OP VANCOUVER TYPE A FRACTURE PROXIMAL TO THE OSTEOTOMY SITE AND UNDERWENT FIXATION THROUGH TROCHANTER GRIP OR PLATE AND CABLE OSTEOSYNTHESIS. THE FRACTURE SUCCESSFULLY HEALED WITHOUT COMPLICATION. ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
