DDH in an young hypermobile patient with pain


 Chasing the good medial bone with a posterior vector one could get a 48 mm cup and  28 COC bearing and an srom stem . she prsented at 6 weeks psot op with a dislocated hip without any symptoms oer episode at home. she  was ofcourse NWB but even then the without a  notable incidentthis was worrying. she had hyperlaxity in elbows and knee and was an avid dancer pre pain


















Intraop the femoral version was changed to neutral or a touch retro  to remove the perceived impingement  at 3 month month surprisingly no abductor lurch and improvement in pelvic tilt
