Total hip arthroplasty for severe chronic proximal femoral migration, most commonly seen in congenital dislocation of the hip, has been associated with high rates of complications. Placement of the acetabular component in the true acetabulum has yielded the most durable results, but leads to significant limb lengthening. In this paper six cases of a total hip arthroplasty combined with a Z-shaped osteotomy of the proximal femur are described.
