Radiographs of a twenty-nine-year-old woman with unilateral Crowe type-IV DDH. (a) Preoperative anteroposterior view. (b) Post-operative radiographic image at four months follow-up. Total hip arthroplasty was combined with simultaneous transverse osteotomy. Cerclage wires were placed at osteotomy site, and the acetabulum was reconstructed with screws. (c) Post-operative radiographic image at one year follow-up. (d) At four years follow-up, bone union was detected at the osteotomy site without radiolucent lines around the stem. (e) At eight years follow-up, the femoral and acetabular components showed no radiographic signs of loosening. (f) Post-operative radiographic image at eleven years follow-up. The femoral and acetabular components were stable
