Postoperative redislocation of the hip in a patient with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis: A case report and review of literature

World J Clin Cases. 2018 Nov 26;6(14):836-841. doi: 10.12998/wjcc.v6.i14.836.

Abstract

Pelvic osteotomy is commonly used to adjust acetabula dysplasia for congenital dislocation of the hip, whereas congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare hereditary disease that often has the characteristics of joint development deformity and easy fracture. This article reports the case involving a CIPA patient who was surgically treated by Chiari pelvic osteotomy and proximal femoral rotation osteotomy for congenital dislocation of the left hip joint and was provided long-term follow-up for redislocation and bilateral femoral head absorption.
