Prevalence of dysplasia as the source of worse outcome in young female patients after hip resurfacing arthroplasty

摘要

PurposeSmaller femoral component size has been implicated as underlying the risk factor that explains the higher failure rate in women who have a hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). We suspect that the diagnosis of dysplasia may be a more important causative risk factor than either small component size or female gender.
