Introduction: There is controversy about which is more suitable for determining correct socket position in patients with severe bone deficiency of the acetabular roof because of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH): the anatomic centre of hip rotation or a high centre.
Method: We evaluated the relationship, in 200 hips, between the centre of rotation and presence of the Trendelenburg sign to determine the upper limit of cup position from the standpoint of hip-abductor strength.
Results: Of the 200 hips, 20 (10%) showed a positive Trendelenburg sign. There were no statistically significant differences between parameters (the centre of rotation, femoral offset, abductor lever arm) regarding the presence of the Trendelenburg sign except for age at surgery. Patients with a positive Trendelenburg sign were significantly older (64.1 ± 9.4 years) than those with a negative Trendelenburg sign (58.8 ± 7.7 years) (P = 0.01).
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that a high centre of hip rotation of up to approximately 30 mm from the inter-teardrop line is a feasible option for patients with DDH from the standpoint of hip-abductor strength if stems are used that allow the restoration of femoral offset and the abductor lever arm.

The gluteus medius allows hip abduction and stabilization of the pelvis when walking. A rupture of the gluteus medius tendon is associated with lateral hip pain, weakness, a positive Trendelenburg sign, and a limp. Diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasound or MRI.

The superior gluteal nerve (SGN) is a mixed nerve of the sacral plexus that arises from the posterior divisions of the L4, L5, and S1 nerve roots. Its motor branch plays a crucial role in innervation of hip muscles, which allows for physiological gait or walk-pattern. As for its sensory branch, it provides innervation for the hip joint capsule, especially its superior part.

Objective: To evaluate patients' functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty through a direct lateral approach.
Methods: The prospective, observational, descriptive study was conducted at Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq, from May 2019 to June 2020, and comprised patients aged 28-81 years having advanced osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis who underwent cementless total hip arthroplasty. The patients were followed up for 6 months.
Surgical Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty With Paavilainen Osteotomy in Patients Who Have High Developmental Hip Dislocation: Mean 4.4-Year Follow-Up.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the use of Paavilainen osteotomy in combination with total hip arthroplasty (THA) for treating high developmental hip dislocation, focusing on effectiveness and risk factors for nonunion after the procedure.
- - A total of 44 patients were reviewed over an average follow-up of 4.4 years, showing significant improvement in hip function scores, with a 12% incidence of nonunion, which was linked to the length of contact between the osteotomy block and femoral cortex.
- - The research concluded that this combined surgical approach is effective and less complex than other methods for high-dislocation hip dysplasia, with a critical contact length of 2.15 cm identified as essential for

A 71-year-old man who had hip abductor insufficiency due to a chronic injury to the right superior gluteal nerve injury after lipoma resection presented to our outpatient clinic 1.5 years postoperatively with persistent pain, atrophy of the gluteus medius muscle, and Trendelenburg sign with a corresponding limp. A magnetic resonance imaging scan and neurophysiological diagnostics confirmed a chronic lesion of the superior gluteal nerve with completed reinnervation and absent pathological spontaneous activity, excluding neurosurgical options to restore hip abduction.
