It is not known if a previous periacetabular osteotomy poses technical difficulties and may increase the incidence of complications after total hip arthroplasty. The records of 41 patients who had THA after periacetabular osteotomy were evaluated. Followup averaged 6.9 years (range, 2-14 years). The average interval from osteotomy to total hip arthroplasty was 6.3 years (range, 4 months-14 years). Total hip arthroplasty provided significant relief of pain and improvement in function for all the patients. The acetabulum was judged to be retroverted in 23 patients and special attention to component positioning was needed. An abnormal proximal femoral anatomy secondary to previous intertrochanteric osteotomy or underlying dysplasia, or trochanteric overgrowth necessitated the use of trochanteric osteotomy for exposure in 24 patients. There were an acceptable number of complications and two revisions in the series. Aseptic loosening of the femoral component in one patient (one hip) and acetabular component in another patient (one hip) were the reasons for the two revisions. Total hip arthroplasty with technical consideration and careful evaluation of the acetabular version and relocated teardrop can be done safely in patients with a previous periacetabular osteotomy and should provide excellent results.
