Images illustrate the case of a patient with a C2 subtype high dislocation. (A) A preoperative radiograph shows the height of the dislocation was 7 cm. Three-dimensional CT shows the hip (B) with and (C) without the femoral head. (D) A postoperative radiograph taken after a hybrid-type THA shows the femur was shortened 1 cm, whereas the limb was lengthened 6 cm. (E) Fourteen years after surgery, exchange of the liner only was required as a result of progressive wear. (F) Five years after liner exchange and 19 years after the original operation, the patient is free of symptoms.
